Second Copy 2000 6.2

This major upgrade to Second Copy 97 adds many new features. Second Copy 2000 copies files and folders from one location to another on the same drive, another drive, or across the network. You can set up profiles that describe the source location, the destination location, and the frequency at which you want to copy the files. Second Copy monitors the source files for changes or additions, then automatically copies the new or changed files to their designated destinations. The program uses the familiar Windows Explorer interface. It has an easy-to-use setup profile wizard that makes configuration jobs a snap.

Second Copy 2000 6.2 provides standard functionality for backing up and synchronizing your data. Like many similar applications, Second Copy is based on profiles that store information about what files to back up, where and when to do so, and so on. All you have to do to create a new profile is modify a similar one. You can group numerous profiles and run backups automatically in the background. For more advanced users, the program offers command-line options and macros. Its otherwise handy and clear interface would gain from integrating dialog and option windows in the common shell, but what it really lacks is a tree view for profiles. We encountered a rather unpleasant bug that stops you from copying a file being used by another application. However, Second Copy 2000's functionality and price are adequate for both small-business and home users, especially those comfortable with technology.
