Introducing the Clickfree C6

OW IT WORKS

The Clickfree C6 backup drive is the easiest way to protect the data on your computers, with no effort at all, by automatically searching for and backing up onto its built-in hard disk all the content stored on each computer. No hardware configuration or software installation is required.

The Clickfree C6 is the only external hard-drive in the Clickfree product lineup that backs up the computer's entire contents including the Windows operating system, installed software programs, as well as all personal content stored on the computer's hard-drives.

The Clickfree C6 also comes with a unique feature called EASY Fix. The EASY Fix is a suite of tools that allow the user to perform:

•••• Emergency Backup/Recovery - Recover personal files even after Windows has

•••• Repair/Reset – Easily repair your computer including your Windows operating

•••• Reimage - In the case of a computer hard drive failure, easily reimage everything

Clickfree EASY Fix is NOT designed to transfer your Windows Operating System and Software Applications (system files) from one computer to another. Instead, it is designed to help restore your system files from a backup to the same computer in case of OS/software problems or a hard drive failure. When using the Re-image option in Clickfree EASY Fix, unless you are an advanced user please only use it on the same computer that you backed up. ( i.e. you are re-imaging onto the same computer or to a replacement hard drive installed on the same computer )

system and software programs from a previous backup, without affecting your personal files. See details in "Repairing your computer" on Page 16.

onto your computer's new hard drive. See details in "Re-Imaging your computer" on page 17.

The first time you connect a C6 to your computer it searches for and backs up all of your important content as well as the Windows operating system and your software applications.

The C6 can be connected to any number of computers to allow them to also be backed up. When Clickfree has finished backing up each computer, you can disconnect the C6 and connect it to a different computer, or leave the C6 connected to the computer to easily update your backup in the future (you can also schedule a backup automatically -- see “How to schedule automatic backups” on page 19).

Please note that the limit is on the available space on the Clickfree C6 and not on the number of PCs that can be backed up.

It is also possible to back up to CDs or DVDs instead of using the built-in hard disk; see “How do I back up onto CDs or DVDs?(EASY Archiver)” on page 23.

EFINITIONS

Backup and Restore

A backup is a copy of data on your computer. Backups can be used to restore data after loss of or damage to your computer’s hard disk, to restore files that have been accidentally deleted or corrupted, or to move or copy data from one computer to another.

Making a backup of your content only copies it from your computer to your C6, and does not delete it from the computer’s hard disk.

Similarly, when you restore content, it only copies it from your C6 to your computer, and does not delete it from the C6.

Content

Clickfree C6 backs up your Windows operating system and software applications (system files), as well as data that you have created, such as music, photos, letters, emails, tax information etc. In this guide we refer to the data that you created as content. This is an important distinction because the normal Restore function (described on page 10) only restores your content. If you need to “restore” your operating system and software applications, you must use the EASY Fix function (see page 14).

A backup is meant to be a second copy of your computer data,

not the only copy of your data.

HAT GETS BACKED UP

When it runs automatically, Clickfree backs up everything on your computer:

•••• Photos – including common graphic formats such as JPEG and RAW

•••• Music – including CD audio, MP3, MIDI

•••• Video – e.g. AVI, MPEG, Shockwave Flash

•••• Emails – including Microsoft Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, Eudora

•••• Documents – e.g. from Microsoft Word, Open Office, and WordPerfect

•••• Spreadsheets – e.g. Microsoft Excel, Open Office, and Lotus 123

•••• Presentations – e.g. Microsoft Powerpoint and Corel Show

•••• Illustrations – such as Corel Draw, Visio, Photoshop and Paintshop images

•••• Financial – such as those from Quicken, QuickBooks and tax programs

•••• Windows and Programs – operating system and software applications

•••• All Others – including, but not limited to, zip and RAR files, XML, and CSV files

The first time you back up your computer, C6 backs up all of the content it finds, as well as the operating system and software applications, which might take several hours. Each time you use Clickfree after that, it only backs up the new or changed files, so it will be much faster. Any files that were deleted from your computer since the last backup are not deleted from the C6.

Clickfree C6 Easy Imaging Introducing the Clickfree C6

EATURES

•••• Customizable backup options to exclude folders; remembers your customized

settings for each computer you use it with.

•••• Multi-computer backup -- can hold the backups for as many computers as you like,

limited only by the available space on the C6.

•••• Multi-version backup – the first backup is a full backup, while each subsequent

backup is incremental (i.e. only new/modified files will be backed up). – you can select which version to view or restore.

•••• EASY Restore - easily restore to same or other computer -- a great way to move your

content from your old computer to your new one.

•••• EASY Imaging - full computer imaging -- because the C6 backs up your Windows

operating system and software applications, you can easily recover from a hardware crash.

•••• EASY Viewer -- conveniently view backed-up photos in thumbnail and expanded

view. View all other files as easily as if it is on the original computer

•••• EASY Music - easily import music from your iPod/iPhone/iPad to your computer

and to iTunes.

•••• EASY Fix – easily recover from computer crashes caused by viruses or software

corruption – often within minutes !

HAT DO I NEED BEFORE I START

Your computer must be running one of these operating systems:

•••• Microsoft Windows 7 (any editions)

•••• Microsoft Windows Vista (any editions)

•••• Microsoft Windows XP (any editions)

In addition you need:

•••• One free USB port (preferably USB 3.0, but compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1) on

your computer

Clickfree C6 Easy Imaging Backing Up

Backing Up

Even though Clickfree backs up your operating system and software applications, it is

safe to continue working while the backup is running. However, keep in mind that

the “snapshot” is created when backup starts and it can take some time to complete,

so any files modified during the backup will not be included and you will need to run

an incremental backup afterwards.

1. Make sure that your computer is switched on and has finished starting up.

2. If this is a Clickfree C6 Desktop version, connect the C6 power adapter to a wall outlet or

power bar and the other end to the C6.

3. Connect one end of the USB cable to the C6 and the other end to a USB port on your

computer.

Restoring Content

You can restore your content to any computer that meets the system requirements (see “What do I need before I start?” on page 7), not just to the computer the content was backed up from.

To restore files from more than one computer, simply repeat the restore process and choose a different computer each time.

function (see page 14).

If you don’t change any options, Clickfree restores all of the content that was backed up, and puts it in the same folders on your computer that it was backed up from.

If you are restoring over files of the same name, Clickfree overwrites these files on the computer with the ones on the C6. Alternatively, you can restore your files to a different location on your computer so they don’t overwrite any existing files.

to the folder where your content was

Some programs expect to find their files in a particular folder. If you restore files to a folder

other than the original location, your program may not be able to find them.

If your program displays an error message telling you that it cannot find its files, or if the program starts up but your data is missing, you will need to move the files to the proper folder.

Unfortunately, this is different for every application and you may need to consult the program’s online help or user guide to find out where the files need to be moved to.

•••• Emergency Backup/Recovery - Recover personal files even after Windows has

crashed and will not restart.

•••• Repair/Reset – Easily repair your computer including your Windows operating

system and software programs from a previous backup, without affecting your personal files.

•••• Reimage - In the case of a computer hard drive failure, easily reimage everything

onto your computer's hard drive.

EASY Fix is not part of the normal Windows software that you will see every day when you run Clickfree backups. In order to use Clickfree EASY Fix, you will need to restart your computer to boot from the C6.

EBOOTING YOUR COMPUTER FROM THE

1. Connect the C6 to your computer, then restart your computer. Look for a message at

startup that indicates the key to press to change the Boot device order. Usually the startup screen is black and white and the message will have the keyword "Boot". F9, F12, or Esc are common keys, but each computer will be different.

To get more help on how to start EASY Fix, visit http://www.clickfree.com/starteasyfix

2. Press this key repeatedly until you get to the Boot Menu. You only have a short time to

do this before Windows boots up -- if you reach the Windows startup screen, you must restart your computer by using the "Restart" option in the Shutdown Options.

3. The Boot Menu will show a list of drives that can be used to boot up your computer. Use

the arrow key to highlight the C6 (which may be listed as “Clickfree Backup Drive”, "CD/DVD ROM", “USB HDD”, or “USB CD-ROM”), then press Enter.
