CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on January 05, 2009
The program 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.
The program can back up 25 versions of the same file, handy for those users who routinely make a lot of changes. 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 FTP support, 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. However, Second Copy's functionality and price are adequate for both small-business and home users, especially those comfortable with technology.
Publisher's description
From Centered Systems :Second Copy automatically copies files and folders from one location to another on the local drives, across the network, or to removable drives such as USB, CD-RW/DVD, or on Network Storage Devices. It works in the background non-intrusively. Simply tell Second Copy which files to copy, where and when to copy them, and forget about it. Easy to use setup wizard helps to define "profiles" that describe the source and the destination location, and the frequency at which to copy the files. It monitors the source files and automatically copies the new or changed files to the destination. It can compress and encrypt the files using the build-in compression utility. Automatic scheduling includes specific days of the week, hours of the day, or any desired time intervals. Features include 256-bit AES encryption, FTP support, Email notification, and support to run as a service, PKZip compatible compression, two-way file synchronization, and archiving of up to 25 old versions of files.
Version 7.0.0.151 adds 256-bit AES encryption, FTP support, e-mail notification, support to run as a service.
