I have spent a week researching all available synchronisers to keep my WHS in sync with numerous PCs/laptops I have. This was one of the last programs to look at. I couldn't believe how uncluttered the user screen was - many others present a frightening sea of complex left-right actions. Once I had figured out *not* to send file security info from the PC to the WHS (it inhibited data transfer) this worked. Simply, cleanly, and without all that terrifying information about how it is working. The user manual is an example of how to write. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the user interface. This is an excellent program. And unlike some, it does not have an expensive "server edition" - this does work on WHS. Good job.

PA USA - Thursday, July 08, 2010 at 17:15:35 (CDT)Been using SC2000 for several years, through four versions of Windows, including 7 Ultimate. Haven't found anything that compares with the simplicity and utility. The fact that it saves data in a format that does not require additional software to restore it is a big plus. I can readily take my external drive to a completely different PC and view my data and copy it as needed is great!

Nashville, TN USA - Friday, June 25, 2010 at 11:23:59 (CDT)SC gets my vote for best utility of all time.
SC is fully deserving of their awards for Best Overall Utility, and their service is second to none. I've used it for years, and the one time I had a problem, their support were fabulous! They doggedly worked with me until the problem was resolved.
The program is dead easy to use, it has loads of terrific options, and is 100% reliable. If you value your personal files, and you don't have a backup solution in place, get an external drive and go no further than Second Copy for the software. It's money well spent.

Sun Lakes, AZ USA - Sunday, July 12, 2009 at 09:39:50 (CDT)Second Copy is incredible software. It is inexpensive and easy to use. More importantly, it works!

VN - Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 21:56:36 (CDT)I run lots of programs. Good ones. Crummy ones. They work great. They crash. Part of life.
I have been running Second Copy for at least five or six years now, and it is probably the only program I know I can completely depend upon. 100%. In six years I've gotten one error message, and it was because I had screwed up.
Second Copy is simple, intuitive, easy to set up and operate, the most reliable, hardest working, save-my-butt program I own and run.
Damn fine job.

NY United States - Tuesday, February 24, 2009 at 12:44:25 (CST)I have one proposal to make. How about a function that monitors running programs and copies files after this application has started or ended. Good example is Outlook. When it ends Second Copy could save the PST files. Maybe in a future version. I am looking forward in seeing this one day. Otherwise, excelent software, I don't want anything else. Rescued my head two times now. THANKS !!!

Minimal memory usage & negligible
CPU load when running in the

basic to advanced, reasonably
priced, works as advertised, 30 day

Really like options to have file
copies NOT be in some
encrypted/compressed format
different than the original and
ability to store deleted
files/folders for retrieval even
after you've emptied Windows Recycle

Really good product. I love the way
it prsesents to me everything that
has changed before proceeding with a
backup. And I love the backup
archiving. One minor complaint - the
process bar shows 100% when
sometimes lengthy actions are still
going on. Maybe the fundamental copy
is complete but the archiving
process is not? I found this timimg
confusing. Othewise really
appreciate the product which I use
in addition to a drive image backup
product (Acronis) that can restore a
whole drive. Between the 2 I feel I
have a very simple, clean backup
solution. At low cost. Thanks very
much. Richard Armitage <richardracs.co.uk>

(CDT)I recently purchased
two external hard drives to back up
the important files on my desktop.
The hard drives came pre-installed
with backup software which was buggy
beyond belief. Therefore, I was
forced to go out and purchase backup
software. After trialing various
software (and not being completely
happy with my choices), I came upon
Second Copy. Within a couple of
hours after downloading the trial, I
came back to your website to
purchase a license. Second Copy is
reasonably priced, easy to use, and
performs flawlessly! Although I
wasn't happy to have to go out and
purchase backup software to replace
the buggy software that came
installed on my external hard
drives, I have found Second Copy
worth every penny I paid for it, and
then some! Fabulous software! Kristin <ruby.66 at hotmail.com>

LOVE this program. On my top 5 best
programs ever created! Here's a cool
tip: I even use it to regulate my
kid's daily access to certain
programs on "his" computer. To do
this, I set Second Copy to move the
exe for the program I want to
regulate to an "incorrect location"
at a certain time every day, and
then at another time in the day, I
move the exe back to the right
location. Therefore, he can only run
the program at certain times of the
day (when the exe is in the right
folder). Works great! Darryl Gittins <Darryl_Gittins at

at 15:46:06 (CDT)I was
testing several backup progs and
this one achieve what everyones
really want from an application of
this kind... 1. very customizable
(choose what you want and back it up
in many different types of back up
flavors, plus other useful options
to choose from) 2. adaptable (simple
as the common user likes and
powerful as the more demanding user
wants) 3. efficient (after first
backup, it just a snap keeping the
last changed files backed up) 4.
effective (instant access to the
data if a original working data
fail) Right now I'm recommending it
to a Department that needs to
maintain a constant trustful backup
with less user-intervention and also
with an instant access if anything
goes wrong with the working data. Miguel A Rivera <mickeyuprp.edu>
Ponce, PR US - Tuesday, September
11, 2007 at 23:55:30 (CDT)I
have been using Second Copy 97
since, well, 1997.... 10 years of
backing up data files. I cannot
remember what I paid for it, but it
is worth it's weight in gold... I am
a fanatic about backing up data. And
it finally paid off with the death
of a hard drive holding 40G of data.
While so many computer users lose a
disk and are unable to recover their
data, or must spend hundreds of
dollars to recover all or some of
their data, I just went and got a
new drive and copied the data from
my backup external drives. SC97
could carry me many more years, but
the "Profile Group" tabs, and the
"source" and "destination" profile
columns are just too helpful to
resist. SC2007 will soon take over
backing up my system. These are
clearly the best applications I have
ever added to my computer. Gary Wullenwaber <wullenwaberearthlink.net>
CA US - Tuesday, August 21, 2007 at
00:12:36 (CDT)I have just
recovered from a failure where I
lost my PC completely. I recovered
all my files easily thanks to
SecondCopy. Great stuff I compared
products with a friend and I am sure
that SecondCopy is better. However,
he has one advantage, when copying
Outlook files SecondCopy copies the
whole offline folder each time.
Connected Systems manges to copy
just the changed data WITHIN the
folder which makes it much quicker.
Any chance of implementing this on a
later version? Graham <graham.phillipsmail.com>

so i installed it. Again it worked
flawlessly, now that i have the beta
Vista edition is still is working
perfectly. I am a network

say enough about SecondCopy. This is
my first experience backing up files
to an external hard drive. It worked
great and I 'm very relieved to have
my large photo files on a backup
drive. Best feature is the scheduled
automatic backup of new source files
when they are added to or changed.
SecondCopy support was quick to
respond to all my questions. Grant <the2bitranchhotmail.com>

exercise more control over what and

FL USA - Thursday, March 22, 2007 at
06:31:05 (CDT)Dear Second
Copy, I first used Second Copy with
Windows 98 and was very satisfied
with its ease of use. Over the years
I’ve used several different backup
programs to safe guard my files with
varying degrees of success. Usually
they work for awhile but when the
time came to restore my critical
files there were always issues where
something was lost. I’ve been a
registered user of Second Copy 7
ever since it came out and with all
the experimentation with other
backup programs I seem to always
come back to your product. Even when
trying out another program I make a
Second Copy backup first, just to be
sure. I guess this is a real
testimony to just how stable and
reliable your program is. No matter
how far I stray I always come back
home to Second Copy. I hope you
continue to upgrade and perfect your
program, and of course never go
away. Thank you for being here, Jack

italy - Saturday, January 13, 2007
at 03:08:15 (CST)I learned
about Second Copy from Consumer
Reports magazine. I have tried
vaious back up products and have
always been disappointed. Most of
the backup products create weird
back up folders/files that are hard
to recover. Moreover, most of the
backup products create copies after
copies of backup taking up lots of
drive space. Not so with Second
Copy. With the Exact Copy option
chosen, you have an exact copy of
your working folder at all time
automatically. I back up my working
folders to my NAS with Second Copy
and it works correctly. Now I do not
have to worry about when to back up
my files or restoring my files when
my drive crashes. Excellent product.
Highly recommended. Simon Chandler

Der Einsatz in Firmen zur Spiegelung

private Einsatz - funktionieren
erstklassig mit dieser Software. Ich
habe inwzischen schon die 3-te

privat, beruflich1, beruflich2 - und
erwarte voller zuversicht die

möchte ich hier mal klarstellen: Ihr
habt eine echt solide und

someone who is anal retentive about

sending an email. I'm a believer! Bob W.

Second Copy will be vary usefull to
download music to audio player.
Profile groups - some part of your
collection to download at once. But
it will be nice you to add option of
calculating summary size of all
files in profile group (it must be
less then capacity of player and it
help to make up such "quantum"). Sergey <sevilhorambler.ru>

Radio is a business of high pressure
deadlines that CANNOT be missed. So
the more "set it & forget it"
programs that we can have the
better. But they just simply HAVE TO
WORK! When I first installed 2nd
Copy we couldn't get it running but
the support emails were answered and
together we got the software
configured perfectly. It was great
workiinng with support and we found
a quick resolution. GOOD WORK!

at 14:15:45 (CDT)I actually
know of someone who backs up files
on their Mac by running S.C. on
their Windows machine. The Windows
machine and their Mac is in a
wireless setup and a Network storage
drive is hard wire (ethernet)
attached to the wireless router. The
Windows machine runs the program,
the Mac has the data, and the
"LanDrive" is where the data is
backed up to. Kind of cool. Ted Wexler <tedwexlerrogers.com>

trial tested several different

at 13:25:09 (CDT)Second
Copy is easy to configure, operates
automatically on a schedule set by

glitch, no doubt my error, was
quickly resolved by the prompt,
thorough and courteous support team.
It's not often one encounters such a
high level of service. Bravo! I
can't recommend them or the product
enough. The best back-up program
I've ever used by far. Steve <fritzwunyahoo.com>
Somerville, MA USA - Wednesday,
August 16, 2006 at 15:02:41 (CDT)Many thanks for the wonderful
software!!! I own many different
backup applications (including ones
that cost $70+) and Second Copy is
the only one that I would highly
recommend. Set-up is very easy and
intuitive. Best of all with Second
Copy you never have to worry about
doing backups ever again...they
happen automatically without fail!
(like the infomercial man says, "you
just set it and forget it!") :)
Having had two major system crashes
before, I sleep very well knowing I
have a duplicate copy of all of my
files on my external drive. The FTP
feature in Second Copy 7 gives me
extra security that most larger
programs don't have: simple off-site
backups (something that is critical
in the event of a fire, flood,
etc.). Try this software out. You
will not be disappointed! Dean <etc_msnmsncom>

NA Ireland - Thursday, August 10,
2006 at 09:56:34 (CDT)I
have been testing Second Copy for
several weeks, vs. another backup
program to use with my NAS drive. I
had an unrelated problem yesterday
that made it necessary for me to do
a system restore on my laptop. I
first loaded my most recent full
drive image backup that I made using
Aprcorn's software, a couple of
weeks ago. That worked perfectly. I
then attempted to restore the
recently updated files using the
other backup software that had been
running throughout. It was a
disaster. It took a horrendous time
for the other porgram to identify
all of the files for each job, and
it only showed files up through its
own install date, even though I know
that the more recent files are on
still the NAS drive, but not
accessable via the program. I
experimented for hours, and I
finally gave up and went to
restoring via Second Copy, using my
profiles that had been running on my
desktop, capturing data from the
laptop. That was the first time I
had tried the Restore process using
Second Copy, and I was stunned by
the speed of the file identification
process, and how nicely it isolated
and presented those files that were
updated or created after my last
full image restoration. I was able
to very quickly and effectively get
all the newer stuff reloaded back to
the laptop. That experience made the
decision for me. I have now loaded a
trial copy of SC on my laptop, and
have purchased a second license.
Thanks for providing a very elegant
program that actually delivers what
it promises. Victor Weinrich <vicw926a4>
NC USA - Wednesday, August 09, 2006

IL USA - Saturday, August 05, 2006
at 21:28:44 (CDT)Been using
SC for years and years now -
Upgraded to SC 7 when it became
available and it's become an even
rounder product covering all aspects
of what I need in such an intuitive,
and elgantly simple way. This is a
no fuss tool. What I would really
like to see though, is support for
Chinese character (unicode) files.
These files do not get copied. I
have to use another program for
that. Using SC I have always had
peace of mind but the non copying of
unicode files, for me, and I'm sure
all the other Chinese and unicode
style languages will agree that
peace of mind is not 100% while
these files are not being copied.

17:59:14 (CDT)Many kudos
for a long-lived, well-supported,
indispensible program that's also
well-designed, easy to use, and easy
to learn. Second Copy has saved many
clients from very messy disasters.
FYI, a favorite application is in
small companies who can't afford
serious high-speed backup or full
workgroup file stores. I simply pair
them up, each employee with his/her
neighbor, and have Second Copy clone
their work-files onto each other's
computers.

16:51:17 (CDT)This is such
an unbeatable product ! I had to
repair WINDOWS XP and things went
wrong somehow. So, Microsoft
technicians told me that the only
solution available was to RE-INSTALL
the whole system, as the result of
which, all of the files I had in my
PC, would be DELETED. So the system
was totally re-formatted. A few
weeks later, when I had already lost
all of my hopes..there, plain as
day.. I saw "MY DOCUMENTS II" !,
meaning that "MY DOCUMENTS" had been
deleted but not the one I'm
referring. Then I remembered I had
saved my files by using SECOND COPY.

off the hook ! Thanks a bunch for it

Well done on the new version. I
tried a few alternative products
before upgrading. Second Copy's
advantages are the scheduler which
handles overdue backups by running
them when it gets the chance (unlike
XP's task scheduler which just skips
if it can't run a job on time). But
best of all is the file picker to
include or exclude files, with both
a free view and a text box. This is
where other backup utilities fall
down (have you tried
including/excluding files and
folders with XP's built-in backup
utility? - Aaargh!) With Second Copy
it's easy to set up complex patterns
for excluding files. Great. LN

SC rules! I have tried many other
backup apps over the years and all
are pretty bad. SC really has got it
right - simple, intuitive, fast. One
has to plan the backup strategy no

setup it is flawless. SC has made it
so elegantly simple. This is one app
well worth the price. Stan <shopcruise@telus.net>

Excellent bit of kit, I've Just
found V7 after using 2000 for years,
I like the email notification,
testing that now. I've used this out
in Iraq when sand and dirt caused
server tape backup drives to fail,
so we used this to shadow copy all
data with NTFS perms to other
drives. Saved our bacon a few times.

at 11:16:43 (CST)I've used
Second Copy for years and have just
upgraded to "7". All vital files are
backed up in the background. I had a
total crash last year. No big deal!
I installed all programs on a new
harddisk and restored all my data
files from the Second Copy backup.
It took 5 hours and I had everything
up and go. It's just a brilliant
program and the "7" is really fast!

think I have been a second copy
client since the very first Beta. It
runs so seamless, so clean, that I
forget that it runs nightly, backing
up 7 gigs on 2 seperate servers. The
only time I remember I have it, is
when I have to move the software
from an old to a new machine. Thank
you Centered staff for making life a
little easier for me. Patrick <barman@shaw.ca>
Surrey, BC Canada - Wednesday,
September 21, 2005 at 15:37:34 (CDT)Tried the BETA... WOW!!! ...
TOTALLY incredible... Intuitive and
great automated backup system.. I
have not tried the FTP backup ...
but... once you get everything set
up.. it WORKS.. even the e-mail
notification... the wizards are
helpful... better to use the custom
and use the advanced settings... One
drawback... on a SIMPLE COPY you can
keep extra copies of previous
backups.. but.. on the Exact Zip ..
you cannot... VERY happy!!! Would
and did recommend to others... still
testing.. all is GREAT... Well
DONE.. a big improvement on the old
version

2005 at 13:15:04 (CDT)I've
been using Second Copy for some time
now to complement my disk imaging
backup software by backing up files
on drives I don't want to image, and
it's been great - reliable, simple,
and inexpensive. I recently added a
remote network drive to backup image
files to using Second Copy, and had
a few problems with network speed
and time stamps. An email to
Centered tech support over the Labor
Day weekend was answered promptly (I
was expecting a response the
following week!), and pointed me to
the Hidden Options (see the Help

both of my problems. Kudos to

Backup. Just looking at the prices
of the 'professional" backup
software discussed in the issue, and
the fact that not one of them, will
do all that Second Copy has been
doing for me, perfectly, for more

I've been using SecondCopy for years
now, and can't raise it highly
enough. It's one of those (rare)
software utilities that does one
thing, and does it very well. It's
intuitive, easy to use, flexible
within fairly narrow limits, and
just works. Amazing - Microsoft
should have these guys in their
development teams. Oh, and the few
times I've had strange problems,
Support was always ready with help
within twenty four hours, usually
leading to me discovering that I had
misunderstood a configuration
option. I once had a strange bug but
Support found a workaround for me
and passed on the problem I had seen
to their development team for
analysis. That's probably why
SecondCopy is so good - they really
care about what they're doing. My
compliments. Andy Kowalewski <akowalewski@sychip.com>

Munich, Germany - Tuesday, July 12,
2005 at 00:01:18 (CDT)I am
a registered user of second copy and
have been using it successfully for
a number of years, without any
problems. One of several uses I find
helpful is to synchronize my laptop
with my desktop when I return from a
trip. Somehow my laptop had its date
changed back one year (probably
because I had been fooling around
with something and forgot to change
it back.) So when I got home some
vital files on the laptop were
apparently lost due to being
overwritten by the desktop's later
date. In despair I decided to study
more about second copy and
discovered (for the first time) the
"archives" folder. And there were my
vital files from the laptop!! Later,
in looking at the log I see where
the saving transfer took place. You
folks should be congratulated in
having a very useful and thoroughly
thought out program. I have
recommended it to others and now
feel even more justified. Bill Chess <bill@wchess.com>
Beverly Hills, FL USA - Monday, June
27, 2005 at 19:18:12 (CDT)I
was looking for a backup tool to
replace the software that came
bundled with my "One Touch" external
firewire hard drive. I wanted an
easy to use interface, good
documentation and helpful support,
which Second Copy delivers on. I
compared Second Copy to two other
leading tools, but they lacked an
easy to use interface, and were
hampered by missing or obscure
documentation. The people at
Centered were very helpful and
responsive to my questions about how
their software mirrors folders. With
their help, I was able to setup two
profiles that backup the My
Documents folder as well as one to
backup a data folder used by an
application that stores its data
under its own folder. You do lose
the "One Touch" backup feature of
the drive, but you can tell Second
Copy to run a backup job
periodically. I set mine to run
every 15 or 30 minutes while I am
working.

Rio de Janeiro, RJ Brasil - Friday,
June 03, 2005 at 09:08:29 (CDT)SecondCopy provides a clean way
of automating file backups to a
destination drive. I use it to do a
weekly Full Backup into one
directory path, and the remaining
days of the week go into their own
directory paths for incremental
backups. To recover a file I merely
use File Explorer to access the most
recent backed up copy and bring it
back to its original location. No
having to hunt within a backup
catalog using a proprietary
application. Gil Hale <

simple to set up and operate giving
you the opportunity to browse
wherever to locate the particular
file to back up etc. If there is an
error during the programmed back up
process, the log will enable you

Second Copy 2000 is the most
reliable backup software that I have
used during my 30 year IT career. It
performs flawlessly every day at the
exact scheduled start times. I use
it to back up our network, which
consists of over 300 workstations.
It is 1000 times better then any

have used. You did a great job
writing this software and I highly
recommend it.

Over the past 15-20 years I have
tried various backup schemes: a
series of floppies each evening (no
kidding!), tapes, zip files, 2nd IDE
hard drives, external hard drives,
internet backup solutions, etc. The
2nd IDE hard drives are the most
convenient and speedy, but the
software has never been easy to use,
and now the XP platform makes it
difficult to impossible. Second Copy
2000 is the best solution for our
computers. Each box has a second
hard drive, and I have set them to
backup new and modified files every
two hours. Combined with Office auto
backup settings, even if we
accidentally delete a working file,
there is always a backup! When the
software runs it does so without
slowing down our computers, and
doesn't require operator input. It
just quietly creates a backup.
Better yet, I don't have to use
Second Copy to retrieve (restore) a
lost file. I simply drag and drop it
from my backup hard drive and I'm
ready to go. This is a smart, fast,
inexpensive and must-have software.

San Antonio, TX - Thursday, December

downloaded the trial version of
Second Copy, and had a technical
question about chaining backups
within a bat file. Emailed the help
desk, and got a comprehensive reply.
As it happens the information was in
the manual, but at that stage I
didn't know what I didn't know. So
often an email goes unanswered, or
answered late, or in an unhelpful
manner, so to get such a prompt
comprehensive reply was a refreshing
change. The progam works flawlessly
for me - running a backup as a
Scheduled task over the network -
and am about to buy the license
after a very satisfactory trial
period. Chris Blair Chris Blair <rblair@bigpond.net.au>

wedding video for nearly 6 weeks
when I had a catastrophic hard drive
failure. Lucky for me I found
SecondCopy weeks before and had set
up a profile to copy all video files
to my removable hard drive every 10
mins. Needless to say, after
replacing my hard drive I copied
over the "SecondCopy" off all the
video files and was able to complete
the video. It's my finest work to

I’ve used several different brands,
and none come close to the ease of

Copy 2000. Most of the time I forget
it’s running, until I need something
I’ve set to backup. Without

there, not just some of it, but all
of it. Thank-you Centered Systems. J.E. Lindeman <gumshoe@comcast.net>

Victoria, BC Canada - Saturday,
October 16, 2004 at 23:38:56 (EDT)An excellent backup utility, it
does everything well and is stable
and reliable. It still has no
competitors as far as I can see, so
there is no need to update it. I
have been using it since Second Copy
97. I am pleased that it has not
been updated for a long time, unlike
so many other products that reach a
point of excellence and then the
developers stuff it with unnecessary
extra features and end up making it
worse or less stable. Peter Anders <nospam@dontspamme.please.com>

to see an update which would contain
support for backup up to a FTP

SecondCopy, that would provide those
functions. for me Richard Thompson <richard@techvillage.org>

London, England - Tuesday, August
31, 2004 at 13:14:31 (EDT)I
have used Second Copy for years and
have found you can copy anything to
anywhere you like and used this
feature with a Pocket PC. I
purchased an iPAQ 2210 and I use
folders and subfolders to track my
jobs for business. I use word,
Excel, and Text documents to keep
track of costs, estimates, and
information in different customer
folders. The iPAQ only allows files
to be synchronized, if you place
them into one iPAQ folder. (One root
folder without subfolders) I used
Second Copy with wild cards to
selectively synchronize any changes,
additions, or deletions to my
customer file system. Not only is
Second Copy able to keep them
synchronized, it also constructed
the folders and subfolders just like
the file system on my PC. Jack Judge

09:28:03 (EDT)Hi guys, I
would just like to say that Second
Copy really is "outstanding". I have
searched for a piece of software
which would back up my files without
needing my awful memory to get
involved. Second Copy is the dream
solution. I have already benefited
from it's backup when my disc failed
in June this year, I lost NOTHING as
it backed everything up on my second
disc at 03:00 that morning whilst I
was sleeping. As for improvements to
Second Copy - sorry, but it does
everything I need so I can't think
of one!- Keep up the superb work. :)

Telford , United Kingdom - Friday,
August 06, 2004 at 03:30:20 (EDT)I downloaded the trial version of
Second Copy about a year ago and
found it perfect for my needs. I
paid the very reasonable
registration fee and have used the
program with great satisfaction ever
since. Recently computer problems
lead me to build a new system and I
needed to reinstall Second Copy, but
I couldn't find my registration
code. Late one evening I sent an
email to Centered Systems asking if
they might have a record of my code
and, if so, if they would mind
sending it to me again. Given the
poor after-sale support I've
experienced with a lot of software
companies, my expectations were low.
Next morning, when I checked my
mail, there was a reply from
Centered Systems, complete with my
registration code. When I wrote
again to thank them for the GREAT
service, they actually wrote back to
thank me for my gratitude. I would
recommend these guys to anyone in
need of a backup solution. Kelly <krmsubs01@bellsouth.net>

Couldn't be happier. Had very

Second Copy is a great program
and I've always used it. At the same
time I should say that its
preformance is unacceptable and it
missed some good feautures. E.g. I
need to backup the files which from
a PC where those files don't
actually changed but they are being
added or removed. So I have just to
synchronize them rather than check
out that files content has been
changed. So why not implementing a
sort of option: on which basis to
compare files 1) byte to byte 2)
date only (or smth like this).
Anyway thanks a lot for your
outstanding program Artem S. Tashkinov <t.artem@[remove

Perm, Russia - Wednesday, December
10, 2003 at 23:10:40 (EST)I
just read through the comments by
other customers and found a few of
them complaining about infrequent
updates of the secondcopy. I am in
the software development bussiness
and know that a lot of companies
would just rush out their products
without sufficient testing and then
release numerous "updates" or
"patches", which could only cause
potentially problems when costomers
do the upgrades. Some even charge
customers for such minor releases. I
have been using SecondCopy 2000 for
more than three years and found it
very stable and feature rich. There
is no point to have more releases or
updates unless there are some really
great new features I can not imagine
which I believe Centered is working
on :-) Anyway, thanks for such a
great product, which has saved my
butt several times! Mark <mark@lilo.homelinux.com>

About a year ago I installed Second
Copy and set it to copy everything
on my three internal HDs to my three
external HDs every night while I
sleep. Then I simply forgot the
program was even there. A couple of
weeks ago my computer simply died -
and I almost died along with it. All
my pictures (I'm an
artist-photographer), all my
financial date for 15 years, all my
business correspondence - gone! I
almost had a heasrt attack. And then
I remembered those three external
drives under my desk! Got a new
computer, hooked it up and VOILA!
All my data was intact - not one
byte missing - thanks to Second
Copy! Second Copy saved my life and
my business. Having a computer
failure is not a question of "if",
just "when". KONRAD POTH <kpoth@bellsouth.net>

(EDT)I'm using Second Copy
for quiet a while now and I'm a very
happy users. The backups are 100%
reliable and the program never
crashed or slowed down my system!
Sadly enough we haven't seen an
update in quite a while. What I
would like to see included?
Real-Time backup like BackupOnDemand
does including its archive function.
I need that for all my graphics
work. Every time when I save a file
in a 2D or 3D program,
BackupOnDemand will make an archived
copy in my archive folder. This way
I can always go back a few versions
when I mess things up. SecondCopy
only does scheduled backups. Please
include real time backup. Thanks for
this great program! Happy User <msg4reg@hotmail.com>

highly recommend Second Copy to
anyone that needs to move data
around. I've had no experience with
your tech support dept., because
I've had no problems! Years ago I
spent a lot of time writing and
editing batch files in DOS to do
what you guys do in seconds. I'm
often a groucy customer with other

01:49:43 (EDT)Until using
Second Copy, remote users in our
organization on laptops had to
either leave their laptop on the
network over night to be included in
the nightly network backup, or do
the backups themselves. With SC, our
laptop users have a new freedom and
the highest level of comfort knowing
that as soon as they leave the
network all their important work is
stored on the file server. It even
moves the files while they're on
VPN! The program was INCREDIBLY easy
to setup, and we had a firm
understanding of the software within
minutes of installing the trial
version. We purchased a copy for all
laptop users within hours. Great
work on a great utility and a great
price....

looked at four other backup
products, all had some shortcoming.
Then I tried Second Copy and found
it easy and flexible. Backing up was
a chore before, now it is automated
and transparent. I back up 500+ user
files to my CD RW drive every night
automatically. It just updates any
changes I've made to the documents
or folders. I had a problem with one
of the configurations I tested, sent
a note to their email support and
got a reply prompty. Better yet, the
problem was identified being with my
CD writing software, it just needed
to be updated. They even provided
the link. Great product, great
support. Give it a try, you'll like
it. I'm glad I did. Bob <bh4244@hotmail.com>

Second copy is a marvelous tool to

any graphics. I have set some of the
folders in which I always work to
reflect an exact copy.Others that I

Sydney, NSW Australia - Monday,
August 11, 2003 at 18:06:22 (EDT)I use Second Copy every day! It
is very important for me to have
desktop and laptops synched. Yes,
it's easy to cut and paste with
Windows Explorer but Second Copy
does it all! I set up "profiles" for
each application that I am
transferring over. Like for my court
reporting software, I tell it NOT to
transfer the "litter box" as it's
called in this app. But everything
else it transfers. I have it do an
EXACT copy so it deletes the old
stuff from the laptop and synchs it
exactly with the desktop. It is
WONDERFUL. I have 4 apps: My
Documents, CaseCatalyst,
SearchMaster and Quicken. Since I
tell Quicken to create the backup in
Word, then I just have 3 apps to
transfer. You can see the "log" of
what's it's copying over (and, since
I tell it do to EXACT, what it's
deleting). If you're too scared that
it will mess up (it doesn't), then
tell Second Copy to make a "simple
copy" and not delete the old files.
After you do a backup once, then
it's quick because Second Copy looks
for dates. It doesn't overwrite
stuff just for the sake of copying.
It only acts on it if the last date
it sees is before the date you're
actually doing the backup. SECOND
COPY is a P L E A S U R E!!! ALSO:
their tech support is great. I had a
question and the email response was
quick and to the point.

Many of the programs I tried before
back-up in a compressed format,
often very complicated to use. When

that the one you need happens to be
corrupted. This program is just what
I need and I recommend it. Stephanie Skjelset

Maastricht, Netherlands - Wednesday,
May 21, 2003 at 03:13:00 (EDT)This is a 'buy and forget'
program. It does what it is supposed
to do, simple and reliable. We have
a small peer to peer network, 15
users. I use SC2k to back up user's
files. Nothing installed on their
systems, just on the file server. I
make the user's '\my documents'
folder shared, read only, passwork
protected. No one else can see their
files, SC can. Transparent and very
fast. And when someone deletes a
vital file "I don't know where it
went!", I can restore it in a few
seconds. I also use it to do weekly
archives of our membership database,
again simple and efficient. As a
non-profit (for Olympic shooting
sports) we can't afford the fancy
high end software. SC doesn't cost
much, and it does what we need it to
do.

when I've made mistakes and needed
to revert to what I had before.
After one of my clients had corrupt
files due to hard drive failure
several months ago I told him about
SecondCopy 2000 and he bought it an
hour later and now takes backups
daily! Great program!

San Antonio, TX U.S.A. - Tuesday,
April 29, 2003 at 23:59:11 (EDT)One of my favarite software! I
have a small home network with 3 PCs
and a laptop. Using secondcopy,
those PCs are basically back up each
other and what a peace of mind it
brings! I also use "sychronize" mode
to sync the "My Documents" folders
of my laptop and one of my PCs, and
I can work on any of them without
worrying which is the newest vesion!

GA USA - Thursday, March 27, 2003 at
16:45:36 (EST)Have searched
high and low for a reliable backup
program that will NOT compress my
data into an unusable format - I've
lost data before due to HD crashes,
etc. I am a photographer/artist with
thousands of images to protect and
Second Copy is the ultimate answer
for me. It backs up my two internal
HDs to my two USB external HDs at
night while I sleep, using the
synchronization option so that the
backup is always the same as the
original. I no longer worry about my
internal drives crashing. I have
tried about a dozen programs and
Second Copy is the ONLY one that
does exactly what I need it to do.
And these people are marvels at
support - I had one glitch which was
my own fault as it turned out, but
my email to their tech support was
answered immediately with the
solution. Further, Second Copy
doesn't employ a bunch of useless
bells and whistles just for the sake
of adding arcane "features" to pad
the code and add to the price. Use
it and sleep well for a change. Konrad Poth <kpoth@bellsouth.net>
LaGrange, KY United States - Sunday,
March 23, 2003 at 12:45:05 (EST)I've used Second Copy 97 for
quite a while now for backing up to
hard disk and CD-ROM. It has been
simple to get to grips with and,
until recently, I've had no
problems. When I found that not all
files were being copied to CD-ROM
and I couldn't resolve the matter I
tried emailing Customer Services. In
truth I expected either no reply or
to be referred to reams of FAQ's,
which seems to be the norm with
software companies. What a pleasant
surprise to get a courteous reply
only 2 days later, with several
suggestions to try. I only needed
the first one to solve it. Excellent
service and a great product. Many
Thanks. Tony Collins <tonycollins@onetel.net.uk>

happened to Back up software - there
used to be loads of it around and
now it seems to have disappeared off
the shelves. I've been looking for
something automated and reliable for
quite a while and have found it with
2nd Copy - it works well is
unobtrusive and has that 'feel
secure' factor which is what its all
about. Why isn't this bundled with
every CD/DVD Writer drive?

several backup programs (I was asked
for an article by an Italian

whichever need, it is cheap and
together really effective.

at 12:06:54 (EST)This is a
must have item. I use Second Copy to
keep an up to the minute current
copy of my desktop data files on a
notebook. My desktop hard disk
recently had a physical failure
which caused it to be a complete
loss, however the disruption was
kept to a minimum because I was able
to keep working using my notebook
and then eventually copied of the
data files back to the desktop and
onto a new hard drive. Hard disk
crashes will happen and you must be
prepared. John Stifter <john_stifter4@yahoo.com>

Beavercreek, OH USA - Wednesday,

on a weekend, with a tip that led me
to find the solution to a problem I
was having backing up to my CD-RW,
after I installed the Service Pack
to WinXP. This is the 2nd time I've
asked for assistance. Both times the
problem was not with Second Copy,
but with Roxio's DirectCD utility
which runs when I use Second Copy
2000 to backup to a CD-RW. The
Second Copy program is excellent,
super easy to configure, and runs
seamlessly and without intervention
every day to do my data backups. I'm
a very satisfied customer! Glenys Cameron <ggcameron8@yahoo.ca>

It's blazing (I said BLAZING) fast

Anyone that values their data should
buy this program. It well lives up
to its award of being the "Best
Overall Utility for 2001" (& 2000).
It's the best overall utility I've
ever seen. The program is simple,
and works perfectly (yes, it works
with XP too). There doesn't appear
to be anything else out there quite
like it. I've always used batch
files for doing backups (Xcopy with
the /d date switch) , but I tried
this utility, and it sure looks
good. It runs in the background,
automatically updating backups at
whatever intervals you specify,
which seems a lot more reliable than
having to remember to manually run
the batch file (or whatever backup
scheme you're using). Also, it's
worth noting that if you use Xcopy
to back up a locked file, it will
fail, AND, when this happens, Xcopy
actually deletes the existing
backup. Not good. When Second Copy
tries backing up my locked Outlook
PST, I get a notification: "Second
Copy 2000 - File in use". Unlike
Xcopy, Second Copy does not then
proceed to delete the existing
backup. Much better than a batch
file. Darryl GIttins <ul406@victoria.tc.ca>

VA USA - Monday, June 24, 2002 at
10:43:46 (EDT)Hi there :-)
Since some days, I use Second Copy
2000 Build 6.2.0.37 -- it's time for
some comments. First of all: Second
Copy is a really great tool. It does
its job in an efficient, unobtrusive
way. That’s a lot in those times of
marketing ad polluted kernel space
;-) It didn't lie -- it said "Simple
Copy" and does just that. No
"enhanced", proprietary, unreadable,
"special" backup format, which
couldn't be verified with ones one
test suite. Just a plain, straight
copy. I could even use plain
Unix-diff to suit my paranoia ;-) It
does real network backup, i.e. my
target is a linux box with the
samba-CIFS-implementation. FreeBSD
and AIX also work. When I did use
NFS -- and a Windows-NFS-client, of
course --, Second Copy didn't
bother. It just works, if there is a
UNC. Again, plain, boring standard
behaviour. Remark: "Standard" refers
to real standards like ISO or ANSI,
not that "Everyone use it"-blather.
I like boredom in computing. No
upset customer, no whining managers
-- spell that "Dilbert" --, no loss
of data, confidence, money and time.
Wow. Great stuff. That's the way, a
tool should work. A lot of worth,
I've got for a low fee. Of course,
I've purchase a license ;-) Second
Copy made it on my -- pretty small
-- list of "useful tools". I
recommend it for every backup needs
in small to medium homogenous --
i.e. Windows -- environments. Thank
you and keep that good work up ;-)

nice. Our IT department graciously

2002 at 10:52:25 (EDT)I had
so much stuff to back up that I was
was getting scared that I would
loose it all. I started looking on
the Internet for backup software and
found SecondCopy. I downloaded it
and was immediately able to make it
backup my files the way I wanted,
even set the number of backups. It
worked smoothly across the network
picking the files I requested and
putting them where I wanted, the way
I wanted. It was so easy, I
purchased one those USB boxes that
lets you install a hard drive. I
stuck in a 40GB drive and now all my
photos, email, web sites, databases,
financial data is backed up on the
network and copied to the USB drive.
Now, when I fly to China, I grab the
USB drive and can plug it into my
laptop. I'm not a compupter person
and I've tried many backup solution,
some of them expensive. I always
came away frustrated or worse off
than before. SecondCopy works, it's
easy, it's affordable.

and it wouldnt "see" EXE files nor
would it delete files from the

this about 18 Months ago when I
lived in England. I begged the
accounts dept for 2 wweeks to write
a check in USDollars to pay the
register fee. We had 25 Laptop users
who didn't know how to backup or
sync their DATA to the network once
they returned to the office. This
SECOND COPY 2000 does just the Job,
or my job at that time. So simple,
easy to use, works and it's a great
price for any small business and

Oakville, ON Canada - Sunday,
February 03, 2002 at 20:19:38 (EST)This has to be the best back up
utility available. It's easy to
install, incredibly easy to
configure, and offers a great number
of options from which to choose. I
bought it after only a couple of
days of use and now, after a month
of daily use, I am completely
satisfied. I use it to maintain a
current copy of My Documents on a
second hard drive and it has never
let me down. The beauty of working
in the background so as not to
interfere with what else is going
on, coupled with the choices that
are offered for backups and formats,
make this my number one program. I

20:56:09 (EST)I've used
Second copy for personal backups for
over a year and always thought to be
a wonderful bargain. Now that I'm
evaluating for adoption by a client,
I'm discovering several wonderful
new (for me) features: - It can be
run as a service on our Windows 2000
server (and therefore schedule it
for overnight backups while no one
is logged on!) - It preserves the
access controls of the original
files - There's an alternative
naming convention for the past
versions of files that is perfect
for our project needs. (See "Hidden
Options" in the Help file.) Forgive
me if this sounds like a paid
commercial announcement. The fact is
that I'm just a satisfied user
giving praise where praise is due.

13:07:32 (EST)Used your
demo version for a few days (copying
data from one drive to another),
when my computer system crashed.
Needed to replace the motherboard,
CPU and memory. Unfortunately, the
service techie, erased my C drive. I
needed to restore all application
and operating system software (this
was no small feat!). Thanks to your
software, I had most of my data
backed up (several years worth of
financial data), and recovering the
data from the second disk drive was
the easiest part. Mike Malesevich <mikar@bigfoot.com>

Fantastic software. Have been using
2nd copy 97 version, and now am
upgrading to 2000. I use it to
mirror our server to a little used
big drive machine in our print dept.
All pc's have mapping to " The 2nd
Server". If the main server has a
drive crash, power supply problem,
etc. The pc's can start using the
2nd server like NOW. I can
confidently leave the office knowing
that even if we have a " fatal disk
error" on the server, my business
will continue to run without me
there to fix things. Mr fix-it can
now go on holidays. Thanks big time.

Works flawlessly across a Wireless

files between work and home, and
it's been a big chore to keep track
of which files have changed where,
and move them back and forth to
their different places on each PC.
Second Copy has enormously
simplified the job. I've done a
detailed comparison of features and
ease-of-use with other file sync

down. Congratulations, nice work. Andrew Schulman <schulman

10:07:01 (EST)Excellent
program ! So simple to install and
use. Set it up and forget about
backups, in the safe knoledge that
all your important files are being
backed up in the background. This is
the answer to my backup prayers.
Even the advanced features are easy
to understand and use. I only wish I
had found Secound Copy before I
wasted a lot more money on programs
that don't work and need me to
actively run them. Great programming
! Keep up the good work. Dave Greene <daveegreene@yahoo.com>

The greatest Backup program ever! It

what I wanted. Those that did not
include Norton Ghost, McAfee Safe &
Sound. I hope you stay in business
and keep updgrading with each new
Windows Release. I have had two
hard-drive failures and each time I
bought a new CPU with a later
Windows release. Each time, my
backups were then incompatible and
made restoration much more
difficult. First time was a
HP-Colorado tape drive for Windows
95 that would not work with Windows
98. Second time, was the backup
utility in Windows 98 that was
abandoned by Microsoft and is no
longer supported by the original
company. Now I'm trying a small
vendor. Keep up the good work. You
clearly understand what users need

Madison, WI USA - Monday, July 02,
2001 at 08:42:23 (EDT)I've
searched and searched and searched
for *the* backup utility. I didn't
want to have my archives in some
proprietary format but in the
defacto standard ZIP. You'd be
surprised how many lack this! I
wanted something that would backup
directories, but not certain stuff
in those directories. Something that
archived huge trees (My Documents is
nearly 600M, zipped!) without
bringing my system to a crawl. I
wanted something that could do those
basic things... and then I found
Second Copy 2000. It does this and
MORE! It is so stinkin' easy to use,
anyone could set up a backup in
seconds! I did one backup and smiled
when it was done and immediately
registered. This puppy is waaaay
worth it! And while other companies
suck in support, these guys rule!

Manteca, CA USA - Saturday, June 09,
2001 at 01:44:21 (EDT)Back
again . . . I'm running Second Copy
2000 on my backup server
(w2k2000as), and using a utility
called Arcana Scheduler (which runs
as a service)to fire up Second Copy.
The Arcana Scheduler over-rides the
scheduler built into Second Copy and
will hit the ground running as soon
as my machine boots up! Basically,
Second Copy will run this way
totally unattended. Since I had the
Arcana Scheduler already running on
that machine for other apps, this
was an inexpensive (free)
alternative to purchasing the w2k
Resource Kit. Also, I've gotta hand
it to your support staff, I've
contacted those guys on a couple of
occasions with questions and POW!
They were right there with the
answers! Great product and great
support! Nick

Washington, DC USA - Tuesday,
January 23, 2001 at 19:41:49 (EST)I can't say enough about this
product. It is easy to use,
completely automatic, and absolutely
reliable. I gave it a low mark on
documentation ONLY because I prefer
to have a hard copy of a user's
manual and the program help assumes
a certain level of knowledge about
backup utilities which new users may
not have. However, I have never
experienced such prompt and detailed
responses from customer support as I
have gotten from
support@centered.com. No "Auto
Reply" and their people actually
READ the body of your e-mail, not
just reply to the subject line with
boilerplate text as it seems most
other software company's "support"
do. For that alone, I would happily
pay twice the very reasonable
registration fee! R. M. McKinney

task very well. A refreshing change
from all that software that just has
features for features sake and tries
to do everything, but nothing
properly. It was a good day when I

many advanced tasks. An incredible
value for the price, I would
purchase Secondcopy over many other
programs that cost 5 and 6 times as
much. Lastly, let me just say that
the folks at centered systems are
EXTREMELY helpful - our company was
trying out their product and the
support staff provided us with
prompt, accurate solutions for our
problems - all before we'd even
decided to pay for the product!
Needless to say, we're purchasing a
copy for our office and I'm
recommending this software to anyone
and everyone. Thanks again, Centered

Ashland, OR USA - Thursday, January
11, 2001 at 13:12:39 (EST)I
have been in the computer business
for 20 years and this is the second
time that I have sent a response
expressing extreme satisfaction with
a product. I was using the
synchronization that comes with
Windows 98 to synchronize 2.5G of
data. I had to separate out the
*.mdb files, reboot before running,
reboot after running, do lots of
manual recovery and then it took
about 20 minutes for each
synchronization session. Second Copy
2000 handles everything - including
my PaperPort search index and the
*.mdb files. It saved 1G of space by
allowing me to synchronize the years
worth of data only. And it does the
synchronization in 90 seconds. Its
magic! And I am not using but maybe
20% of the program. Its amazingly
easy to use - I learned how to use
it in about 5 minutes. Good job!

There is no better backup program
in existence. We use it with a 1GB
Jaz drive and use MS Task Scheduler
to load it at 5 pm everyday (rather
than have it run in the background
all day). My staff has been thankful
for the Archive function,
particularly where we accidentially
save over one of our templates.
Don't bother wasting your time
trying the other backup programs,
this is the only one you'll need to
try.

Well, what can I say? I spent a few
hours downloading all sorts of
synchronisation software and
evaluated all versions against my
requirements. Second Copy 2000 was
the 4th out of the 11 products I was
evaluating and I made my mind up
there and then that this would fit
90% of my needs. So I deleted all
the others in favour of SC2000. All
I need to do now is convince
Centered Systems to add the others
10% of features I am looking for and
this will then be the ultimate
synchronisation product. Wish list
on the way…… Terry <TaP@Komplex-fx.co.uk>

I am so happy today, I have
for weeks sought to find a piece of
software to run the task of
synchronizing files on my tiny
little home LAN. It might seem like
an easy quest, but it took me weeks
to find THE ONLY solution Second
Copy 2000. Scavenging around in
shareware I soon realized that
nothing fulfilled the three basics,
it had to work on a LAN, be
automated, and work (!). You guys
are wizards, this is not only an
extraordinary user-friendly and
efficient utility, it set the
standard for its kind of utility. I
will recommend Second Copy 2000 to
everybody crossing my path. Thank
you for an innovative tool. I can
not praise it enough. And at a very
reasonable price too!. And your
website is very neat too. Karina

to let you know. I downloaded your
programme last night, and was so
impressed I paid for it today. I
have tried and used Backup 2001,
Retrospect backup and PKbackup and
your programme is streets ahead of
them all as far as ease of use etc,
and it runs well on Ezicdcreator
4.02 which the others don't. Thank
you for a great product Geoff Pearce <oboist@tig.com.au>

Centered Systems, Second
Copy 2000 is everything that
MS-Backup _should_ have been and
more...it's just fantastic --
intuitive, powerful, and flexible
(and well worth the registration
fee). Now I can sleep well at night
knowing my data are backed up
_every_ day without my intervention.
Thanks!

10:38:38 (EDT) This
software is perfect for my needs! I
have a music server with about 20 GB
of music for the Radio station, and
your software allows me to keep a
HOT standby, always updated (daily)
with the latest music and
commercials for the radio station.
While I also keep a tape backup, in
our business, time is of the
essence, and I'm able to keep my
backup on a hard drive, which in an
emergency could be used directly on
the air. I was especially grateful
that I could download and use a
non-crippled version for several
days to assure myself your product
would fulfill my needs! What I need
is a mirror image, not archive
copies, and this software does it! I
especially appreciate the fact the
the software will delete files from
the backup when they are deleted in
the original. This keeps my backup
from getting bigger than the
original. (The tape supplies my
archive backup!) Again, great
product and I was happy to license
it - its a real value! Don Coleman

Gentlemen! Thank you so much for an
excellent product (Second Copy
2000). I've had, for years, trouble
getting my Backup function perfect.
There's always a compatibility
problem between software and
hardware, installation or
operational problems ad infinitum!
I'm very happy to pay the cost (a
rarity for me) and am thrilled with
technical support - I got answers on
weekends in a few hours! Thanks
again for your competence and
dedication! Ray Day <rayday@home.com>
CA - Sunday, August 13, 2000 at
19:09:58 (EDT) As you have
heard over and over, congratulations
on a terrific product. However, I am
here to congratulate you on your
outstanding technical support which
is the best I have ever seen.
Recently I sent you an e-mail (on a
Friday night) suggesting some new
features for the next release of
Second Copy. Amazingly enough,
within an hour or so, I received a
response from an actual person, and
it was extremely thorough and
competent and pointed out to me how
to accomplish what I wanted to do
with Second Copy 2000. Now I wish I
had accepted the half-price upgrade
offer which expired a few months ago
and will have to pay the full price
of $29.95 which is still an
amazingly low price for such a
terrific product. Keep up the great
product and the amazing technical
support!!! Thanks, Ron Ron Beall <rbeall@ronbeall.com>

10:07:02 (EDT) As a small
business that provides data
management to Fortune 500 companies
it's important that I have archived
records that I can retrieve. I
started out by using tapes but the
tape drive didn't work well in W98
so I considered CDs. After figuring
out that this would be a manual
process swapping the disks out I
decided on a multiple hard drive
set-up with continual back-up along
with daily, weekly, and monthly
backups as well. I can't remember
where I found your product but I
decided to try it, it was exactly
what I was looking for.
Last Friday night I was
installing a copy of W2K on a
partition of my main drive set up to
accept an operating system. I had
done this many times before but
never w2k and this version had an
altered install routine. I pushed
the install button and watched all
three partitions on my main drive
disappear and reformat before my
eyes, everything was gone. To say I
was panicked was an understatement,
three years of data gone.
After I regrouped I pulled an
all-nighter to reinstall all of the
programs then it was time to restore
the data. Within one hour I had all
data restored and the only thing I
lost was 3 days of e-mail and that
is because I missed backing it up on
a continual and daily basis.
To say
that your product saved my hide is
an understatement, I can't tell
enough people about your great
product. Please keep up the
great development!

Suddenly, right after
having sent a routine msg to a
correspondent, my Eudora Pro 3
program couldn't write an S (for
sent) into the OUT mbx because that
mbx "wasn't there"! Each & every
single msg in the OUT mbx of my
Eudora Pro 3 had simply disappeared,
gone, wiped out, 100% clean. I will
never know how or why; maybe it just
hates me! Ah, what joy it was to
simply copy those two .toc and .txt
files from that H.Disk D back into
H.Disk C, what bliss! You saved the
day, SecondCopy; even though this is
but private & somewhat insignificant
stuff, it is still a major royal
pain in the u-no-what to have one
entire OUT Mbx disappear. Thanks to
you, it did NOT disappear! Cheers

The product is great. I
have been looking for a backup
solution for a while and finally
found one that does what I need it
to do. I did have a minor error in
copying files due to the way I was
using the program and Centered
Systems persevered to resolve the
problem. I would not expect that
level of support from many much
larger companies - its nice to see
the effort put in for the individual
customer. Dave Graupner <dgraupner@pli.mb.ca>

- Friday, December 17, 1999 at
20:57:58 (EST) Remains a
reliable, easy to use solution that
is as versatile as needed. Works
great for customers who only want
local installations for records
management software we are a dealer
for. Since these are database-based
applications, backups are a must.
With Second Copy, customers who
might not have bothered with backup
only need to swap disks once a day.
Very good stuff. And I also used it
at my office. Tom Trotter <tomtrotter@mindspring.com>

This is my second entry in
your Guest Book. "Second Copy" has
saved my bacon on a couple of
occasions now. The last was when I
upgraded from MS Office 97 to MS
Office 2000. The upgrade process
went fine - so I thought!-but my
accumulated e-mail lists plus
Address Book entries got corrupted,
and were not recoverable in the new
"Local Settings" or the old
"Applications" folders. However - I
had regular backups saved to a CD-RW
drive, which I copied across,
thereby breathing individuality back
to a rather empty e-mail
application! It has paid for itself
very quickly! Moral: If you are
upgrading - don't download the
latest e-mails from your ISP until
you know things are safe! Michael Shields <mshields@icon.co.za>

program for over a year now. It is
without a doubt the best piece of
software I have seen. I use it at
the office to backup Autocad
drawings that are worked on daily
and let me tell you, what a life
saver it has been. I also backup to
a tape drive, but this program is my
"Second Copy" backup and a lot
faster to restore. It does it all!!!
Keep up the great work, and
continued success to you. James C. Schumacher <jimschu@mail.com>

Hi, I've used Second Copy for about
a year, (I think).It's a program
that I don't really have much
interation with, (and that's what I
want - I've got enough
super-sophisticated stuff on my
computer to keep me occupied forever
trying to fathom out how it all
works).But since I installed Second
Copy it's saved my bum 3 times. Once
when my 'uncrashable' computer died
because of a power failure and the
other 2 times when I did a mass
update of our business database with
incorrect information.In each case I
was back in business within minutes
- because Second Copy had simply
done what it was supposed to do -
backing up files at the periods I
set.It's great to find a product
that does this, simply and without
fuss and with 100%
reliability.Cheers Denis Baulsom <denisb@c031.aone.net.au>

An efficient program! It
adheres to the principle of "KISS"
(Keep it simple stupid!) I have
recently registered it, and now have
a safely backed up PC system. I have
two seperate hard drives, so I
securely backed up critical data in
my all important "C" partition
(including OS and system files
etc.)to desginated back up folders
in the "E" partition. (Same physical
drive), and also configured slightly
longer term mirror backups in the
"G" partition. (Different physical
drive). So: If "C" needs to be
formatted - I still have backed up
data on "E". If that hard drive
completely fails - I have backed up
data on the other one. All major
cab/set up files
(Win98,IE5,Outlook98), are backed up
on both physical drives. I look
forward to future version
enhancements... Michael Shields <mshields@icon.co.za>

1999 at 20:10:55 (EST) Wow,
this is finally it. I spent an
entire day drudging through several
other software apps that were
supposed to do this. I must say that
the simple interface is so
refreshing and easy to use. This
program simply does what it says.
I'm using on a server to backup
log-on scripts to our backup-server
and it simply works, what else is
there to say. If our normal log-on
server hickups or goes off line our
network pickups on the other server.
Yippie no more manual file copies to
make sure the scripts are the same.
It's completely automatic. The only
problem I have is the name. You
should call it "A Second Copy 97",
that way nobody else will have waist
their time trying out all the other
"backup/mirror" programs. It'll be
at the top of the list! Jason <jason.carmichael@cheerful.com>

I have been using SC97 for a
while with an LS-120 disk and so far
I'm very pleased with the effects.
The best thing SC offers is to
delete obsolete files from
destination, ie. I do not have to
worry about files that are not in
use anymore and that would just
occupy the space. Very helpful
program. All my files backed up in
3-5 minutes, all fit on one disk.

I have to put my two cents in. As a
database developer I generally have
files all over the place in various
stages of completion. I keep a Zip
disk in a drive all the time now and
let Second Copy take care of backing
up all my development files. I don't
have to worry about it, don't think
about it, I just know it's being
done. This is a great product for
everyone who damn well knows they
have to backup but don't quite
always get around to it... in other
words, for everyone. Great job.

BC Canada - Monday, May 25, 1998 at
14:47:13 (EDT) Most of our
users save their data on the
network, but we have always had a
problem getting laptop users data
securely backed up. They are out of
the office frequently, and their
machines are usually unavailable at
night, when the scheduled tape
backup runs. This ruled out using a
backup "agent" on the laptops. We
finally found a solution- Second
Copy 97. My users no longer have to
use the briefcase utility to get
their data up to the network, in
fact they don't have to do anything,
or answer any questions! This is
just the way they want it. No error
messages pop up when they are
disconnected from the network, it
simply quietly writes a message into
the log stating that the destination
was not available. I schedule it to
copy when they startup each day (so
when they are on the network, their
data is backed up immediately), and
also to run the copy every 2 hours.
This flexibility is great, thanks
for such a great solution, we bought
a 25 user license.

I cannot possibly express how
impressed I am with Second Copy. It
is fabulous!It meets a need that NO
other software has ever addressed
(and I own LOTS of utilities). It is
so well done that it is absolutely
my favorite utility -- it makes me
feel good all the time just knowing
its there, it makes me feel good
when I interact with it because it
is so incredibly well designed and
solid, and best of all it makes me
feel ecstatic when it saves my bacon
by resuscitating an earlier copy of
a lost file (like it did a few
minutes ago).I wish you all the very
best success with Second Copy.Most
sincerely,-- Scott Scott G. Luther, Chromex Automation

Love the product just what
I needed to update files on our

out this week and will register

the ability to add Dial Up

Bristol, UK - Saturday, February 28,

unattended. Just Wonderful! Frank Whitney

looking site, I'm just about to try
your software. The only suggestion I
would make would be list the devices
your backup software supports. I use
a Colorado T1000 tape drive,
anything would be better than
Colorado's backup. Peter Tosi <cdog@cairns.net.au>

Registered this a.m. and
had the reg key before evening.
Thankful for the nice e-mail and for
the programme, which I have been
using some 2 months. This is the
first shareware I have regd - from
Germany it is not always so easy.I
have only good experience with the
software, and it saves me lots of
manual work. That was 5.1 - now I
hope the new is even more useful. Gwynne S Newton <G_S_Newton@compuserve>

This is really a great solution to
the problem that I had of backing up
daily changed data. I have informed
many of my friends about this and
they too are planning on getting a
registered copy for their own use.
This is the best $30 that I have
spent in a long time. Thanks. Rex A. Hebert <Rex.Hebert@pdq.net>

Just the program I needed. It would
be a cherry topper if Second Copy 97
has the option to preserve file
permissions at the destination end.
Thanks for a great program. I'll no
doubt register it. Duc Hotan <duc@cheerful.com>
Portland, OR USA - Monday, January

The more I use it, the better I
like it.As a tool for NT replication
(if you want more than one directory
tree replicated - or copied - to, or
from, other servers) it works a
treat. Centered are working on a
version that works as an NT service
- so that it works even when no one
is logged on to the server - to be
released soon(?), but in the
meantime , you can use SRVANY.EXE
from the NT Resource Kit to install
it as a service (if you want to know
how, please feel free to drop me a
line). Richard Charrington <rcharrin@ub.com>

a truly excellent product. I
recommend it to all my customers.
Another extension to it might be

Thank you, it's clean, simple and
best of all - it works as
advertised. Used it for more than 30
days to wring it out and it has
worked flawlessly. Time to register
it, which I just did.Tried a number
of other utilities, some very good,
others lacking in critical areas,
but yours was right on for my needs.

Germany - Friday, November 21, 1997
at 15:04:06 (EST) This is
the best product of it's kind that I

automatic back-ups on changes as
well as timed back-ups. Robert Payne <rpaynej@erols.com>
Richmond, VA - Wednesday, November

As someone who develops applications
for customers, I have found this
product indispensible. There is
nothing worse than "improving" a
product only to find later that you
really wish you hadn't "fixed" it
and your last backup does not
contain the piece you want back. The
multiple archive feature is
excellent. Second Copy eliminates
any concern for "Oh I should back
this up first". Jeff Mayer <jmayer@primary.net>

ALL MY DATA FILES.I HAD AS HIGH AS
15 BACKUP ICONS ON MY DESKTOP. THIS
WAS FAST BECOMING A PROBLEM.I
STARTED SEARCHING THE NET FOR AN
UPDATED VERSION OF THIS "TYPE" OF
PROGRAM. ONE THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE
A RESTORE OPERATION. WITH THE NAME

YOUR PROGRAM. I DECIDED TO TRY IT
ANYWAY. I AM VERY GLAD I DID. I WILL

Independence, Mo USA I've
been a user of this little beastie
for a few years now. I've also
flogged it to a client or three down
here in the Antipodes. For the small
peer to peer network mob, it's ideal
to use to back up the "server" data
to a workstation...if the "server"
expires, they use the data mirror
image on the workstation and are
back running in no time.For the
bigger bays, it's just the trick for
keeping a mirror image of critical
data (payroll comes to mind) on the
user's workstation ... network goes
down but the punters still get their
cash. Highly recommended ... as our
Pommie mate from the UK says,it will
save your bacon. Bob Bellini <bellini@magna.com.au>

Like Second Copy very much. Will
call in for my registration later

configured as a drive E: and Second
Copy will Zip up a directory, like
Winzip does by compressing the

in no time at all. Great software.
