4. Istruzioni per l'uso

4.1 Automatic Backup Process

The primary function of the Clickfree drive is its automatic backup capability. Once connected, the device will scan your computer for user-created files and begin backing them up.

  • First Backup: The initial backup will take longer as it copies all identified files. Ensure the drive remains connected and your computer is powered on during this process.
  • Subsequent Backups: For subsequent backups, simply connect the drive again. The Clickfree system will intelligently identify and back up only new or modified files since the last backup, significantly reducing backup time.
  • File Tipi: The drive automatically backs up common file types such as documents, photos, videos, music, and emails. It does not back up operating system files or installed programs.

4.2 Ripristino Files

Ripristinare files from your Clickfree drive to your computer (or a new computer):

  1. Connect the Clickfree drive to the computer where you wish to restore files.
  2. Launch the Clickfree application (it should auto-run or be accessible from the drive).
  3. Follow the on-screen prompts to select the files or folders you wish to restore. You can choose to restore all files or specific items.
  4. Confirm the restoration location on your computer.
  5. Allow the process to complete.

4.3 Managing Multiple Computers
