Second Copy 2000

Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

Second Copy , by Centered Systems , Inc. Second Copy, by Centered Systems, is an award-winning utility and has won the SIAF People's Choice Award in the "Best Overall Utility" category a number of times. Second Copy is really the big boy of backup utilities. Let's take a quick look. With Second Copy you can do automatic backups to a variety of devices. Backup to a "Zip Disk", another hard drive, a network drive, and more. The program lets you create profiles, or backup sets, that contain all the information for doing a backup. It's a great way to not only keep a 'second copy' of your important files and documents, but it's a nifty way to back them up. The program actually 'watches' the files you select and notices when there have been changes. When it does, it springs into action and updates everything in the backup location you've selected. Slick! Another feature of Second Copy that I really like is the ability to keep so-called "old" copies of files. It lets me keep documents that evolve over time. Like my science fiction novel. I've been working on it now for awhile and Second Copy allows me to have, for example, different copies of Chapter 20. Very cool. Second Copy is a very handy tool, so take a look! You can never have too many backups and it's an excellent program.
