Basics

HOW DOES CLICKFREE WORK?

All you need to do to keep your projects, photos, videos, music etc. safe is to plug your

iPod and iPod Transformer in to your computer and let it work!

No need to install software or to configure anything. Your computer knows when

Clickfree has been plugged in, and it runs the backup program automatically each time it

is connected.

You can back up as many computers as you like with the Clickfree iPod Transformer. The

same thing happens each time you plug it into a new computer. And each of your backed-

up computers is kept separate on your iPod.

When Clickfree has finished backing up each computer, just unplug the iPod and iPod

Transformer and store them in a safe place.

If your data is lost for any reason (hard disk crash, laptop lost or stolen, content

accidentally deleted), you’ll be really happy that you bought and used Clickfree. Your

backed-up content is safe on your Clickfree backup, waiting to be restored when you have

a working computer again.

A Clickfree backup is also ideal for transferring your content from an old computer to a

new one.

Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, the program may not run by itself – it may need a little

help. If this happens to you, don’t worry – it’s easy to get things going. We’ll show you

how a little later. For details, see “

What if Clickfree doesn’t start up automatically?” on

WHAT GETS BACKED UP?

CLICKFREE BACKS UP CONTENT

At Clickfree we want to protect our customers from losing things that are irreplaceable.

That’s why Clickfree finds and backs up all of the content from wherever it is on your

computer.

When it runs automatically, Clickfree searches your computer for all of the content that

you have either created or placed in your computer. This includes photos, music, video,

office documents, financial data, email, and so much more - over 400 types of files. To see a

list of the categories of content that Clickfree backs up automatically, see “

What content

categories does Clickfree back up?” on page

9. Most likely, this means that it will back up

everything that matters to you right out of the box without you having to do anything but

plug it in.

Unless you explicitly ask it to do so, Clickfree does not back up your programs or the

operating system. This means that your backup won’t need nearly as much space as the

size of your computer’s hard drive since your content may take up only a small portion of

your hard drive’s capacity, and we look only for the content.
