USE PASSWORD PROTECTION

Do my files need password protection?

If your

Clickfree

C2 Portable Backup Drive is lost or stolen, anyone with a computer

that meets the hardware and software prerequisites can restore files from your C2
Portable Backup Drive simply by connecting the C2 Portable Backup Drive to their
computer, unless the C2 Portable Backup Drive is protected by a password.

You should protect your files using a password if the content you have backed up is
sensitive in any way, for example, contains trade secrets, or if it would be embarrassing
to you if it got into the wrong hands, and there is any possibility that the C2 Portable
Backup Drive could be lost or stolen.

Note:

You cannot run backups as a non-administrator (see “Non-administrator users”
on page 47)if your C2 Portable Backup Drive is password protected.

Note:

If you set a password, a scheduled backup is delayed until you enter the
password. See “Scheduler and the Clickfree icon” on page 63 for details of
scheduled backups.

How do I choose a password?

Choose your password according to the sensitivity of the content you are protecting.
Advice on passwords is easy to come by – just google “choose password” to find as
much advice as you could possibly use.

Clickfree

imposes no restrictions on the

password, and treats upper-case and lower-case letters as identical.

Warning: Be sure to pick a password that would be difficult for anyone else to discover

and that you will be able to remember – if you forget your password there is no
way to recover any backed-up content from the C2 Portable Backup Drive.
