Clickfree C2N Home Backup Drive User Guide Backing Up My Content (HD)
Note:
If you later uninstall the BackupLink (e.g. if you will be running Clickfree on
this computer only), or if you unplug the C2N Home Backup Drive before the
backup is complete (and therefore BackupLink does not get installed), you must
use this procedure to run the backup each time. BackupLink is only installed
automatically after the first backup; each subsequent backup will prompt you to
install it (unless you select “Do not show this message again”).
U SING THE B ACKUP L INK U TILITY
After the first backup on a computer, the Clickfree BackupLink utility is installed. You
will see an icon on your desktop and in the system tray (bottom right corner of your
screen).
Double-click the icon on the desktop to open the BackupLink Status screen (or click once
on the icon in the system tray). This screen shows all computers that have been backed
up onto the same C2N Home Backup Drive, and what their current status is:
• The computer you’re currently working on is always listed first, followed by all
other computers that have been backed up onto the C2N Home Backup Drive.
• You can see which computer the C2N Home Backup Drive is currently connected
to.
• A green checkmark indicates that it is ready for backup at any time. The last
backup date and time is shown.
• There is a Backup Now button beside each computer. You can start a backup
on any of the computers listed (not just your own). The backup will run over
the network to wherever the C2N Home Backup Drive is connected.
Tip:
Set up an automatic backup schedule so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Refer to “ Scheduling Automatic Backups” on page 69.
