Backup Drive can back as many computers as you like: you are limited only
by the amount of space on your Backup Drive.
Clickfree
creates a unique identifier for each computer and user that it is used with,
regardless of the computer's and user's names. This allows
for more than one computer and user without the files getting mixed up with each other,
even if all of the computers and users have the same names.
H
OW IS BACKUP DIFFERENT WHEN
It makes no difference at all - just plug the Backup Drive in to each computer to back up
its users' content.
Each time you back up a user's content for the first time, the user name is added to the
drop down list of users that you see in the
window.

HAT IF
USE MORE THAN ONE
You can use as many Backup Drives as you like – as far as
Backup Drive (and the backups on it) is independent of the others.

OW DO
MAKE MULTIPLE BACKUPS
If you want to keep multiple backups of a user's content, use multiple Backup Drives for
that user.
The first time you back up a user's content onto any Backup Drive,
full backup. The next time you use the same Backup Drive for the same user it backs up
only new and changed content.
So if you use a second Backup Drive with the same user,
backup again.
