Clickfree C2 Portable Backup Drive User Guide

Basics (HD)

Unless you explicitly ask it to do so,

Clickfree

does not back up the 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 only take up a small portion of
your hard drive’s capacity, and we only look for the content.

OES

LICKFREE BACK UP ALL OF MY CONTENT EVERY TIME

The first time you back up your computer

Clickfree

backs up all of the content it finds,

which might take some time – it just depends on how much you have. Each time you use

Clickfree

after that, it only backs up the new or changed content, so it will be much

quicker.
