DOES CLICKFREE 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.
WHAT CONTENT CATEGORIES DOES CLICKFREE BACK UP?
Clickfree backs up content in these categories:
• Photos – including common graphic formats such as JPEG and RAW
• Music – including CD audio, MP3, MIDI
• Emails – including Thunderbird, Eudora, and those from Microsoft Office
• Text Documents – usually from word-processing programs such as Microsoft Word,
Open Office, and WordPerfect
• Spreadsheets – for example, Microsoft Excel, Open Office, and Lotus 123
• Presentations – for example, Microsoft Powerpoint and Corel Show
• Artwork and Drawings – such as Corel Draw, Visio and Paintshop images
• Video – for example, AVI, MPEG, Shockwave Flash
• Favorite Websites – internet shortcuts and address books
• Other – including zip and RAR files, XML, and comma-separated values files
• Financial – such as those from QuickBooks and tax programs
