Clickfree Introduces C6 EASY Imaging

clickfreeClickfree has announced the immediate availability of Clickfree C6 EASY Imaging, the first Total Computer Backup product that makes it easy to back up and restore everything on a PC including personal files (photos, videos, music, emails, spreadsheets, illustrations, documents, and 500+ other types), software programs and the Windows®operating system.

Designed for non-technical consumers and small business owners, Clickfree has taken the difficult process of backing up and restoring virtually everything on a computer and made it effortless.

To perform a full image backup, just plug the Clickfree C6 EASY Imaging drive in to the computer’s USB port, and Clickfree’s Patented EASY Run™ will automatically launch and back up everything on the computer. If a clickfree c6 easy imagingcomputer crashes due to a software malfunction or virus attack, EASY Fix™ will restore all the personal files, software applications and the operating system.

“Up until now, PC users have had to compromise between backing up only part of their computer with regular file based backup system, or trying to figure out how to use a complex imaging product to backup their entire computer,” said Ian Collins, founder of Clickfree. “Clickfree combines its EASY Run technology with imaging capabilities, resulting in a no-compromise solution for total computer protection that is unparalleled in its ease-of-use.”

Clickfree C6 EASY Imaging takes a different approach to an image backup than other products. Current solutions combine personal files, software programs and the Windows operating system into one. Clickfree categorizes the user’s personal files as one category, and the software programs and Windows operating system as another. This provides the ability to repair only the portion of the backup that has been lost or damaged.

Additionally, competitive products require the user to reinstall everything even if only a portion of their backup needs to be. If they only need to reinstall the software and operating system, they MUST reinstall the data as well — which means a long reimaging process and reverting to the last backed up version, which can result in overwriting recent changes to personal files.

With Clickfree, consumers have a choice. If they only want restore personal files, not the software programs or operating system, simply using the EASY Restore function will restore all of the PC’s personal file backups. The personal files can be restored on a new hard drive or an entirely new computer, making it a great way to move content from an old computer to a new one.

To repair software programs and the Windows operating system, simply use EASY Fix, which reinstalls just the necessary files. To restore personal files and software programs and the Windows o/s to different points in time, EASY Fix can do that too. Personal files can be restored to how they were 10 minutes ago, while the software programs and Windows operating system can be restored to 2 weeks ago. These points in time are user defined.

Because competitive imaging products reinstall all of the PC’s personal files, software and operating system as one, it typically takes hours to get a computer back up and running. But with Clickfree, consumers can be back in business often within minutes. Clickfree compares what’s currently on the computer to the original image backup, repairing only the elements that have been damaged or lost, saving hours of time.

Featuring Clickfree’s new EASY Fix technology, users can quickly recover from a computer crash caused by viruses or software corruption. Even if Windows can’t boot up, as long as the computer can power on, EASY Fix can help repair the computer with a previous backup. Even if you have never backed up, EASY Fix can help. Clickfree’s EASY Fix technology includes:

  • Complete Repair
    • Repair your computer including your Windows operating system, software programs, and personal files from a previous backup.
  • System Reset
    • Reset your Windows operating system and software programs back in time, without affecting your personal files. Competitive imaging products overwrite data when restoring software programs and the operating system.
  • Reimage
    • In the case of a computer hard drive failure, reimage everything onto your computer’s new hard drive.
  • Data Recovery
    • Recover personal files even after Windows has crashed and will not restart.

Additional User-Friendly features include

  • EASY Run – automatically backs up your photos and other personal files, software programs and the Windows operating system.
  • EASY Music – easily import music from an iPod/iPhone/iPad into the iTunes on any computer

Clickfree C6 EASY Imaging can hold the backups for as many computers as needed, and is limited only by the available space on the Clickfree drive. Computers running different Windows operating systems can be backed up to the same Clickfree C6 EASY Imaging drive — Clickfree supports Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP and is available now from Clickfree as well as other major electronics retailers in Canada and the U.S. It comes in both portable and desktop sizes.
