Second Copy 8.0.5.2 build introduced this bug. If you have
selected "Copy directly to destination" in the Advanced Properties on the "How?" tab in the 8.0.5.2 build
then the log file was not updated with the list of copied files. This bug is now fixed in the
8.0.5.3 build. You can download the latest build from our download page.
When
Second Copy 8 or 9 is set to run as a service
under Windows 7 or later, it does not run the
scheduled profiles. We are working on a
possible solution. We will post the solution
at this location as soon as it is available.
By
default, Second Copy moves deleted files to
the Recycle Bin instead of simply deleting
them. This allows users to recover old
files. If you are backing up to an Iomega
Zip drive, their new device driver for Zip
drives issues a warning message every time
Second Copy tries to send a file to the
recycle bin. Unfortunately, Iomega has
provided no option to turn off this message.
The workaround for this problem is to turn
off sending files to recycle bin in Second
Copy. Go to Edit | Options | Copy tab, and
unselect "Move deleted files to Recycle Bin"
option.
Some
users have complained of occasional system
failures with Iomega USB Zip drives. This is
due to a conflict between the Iomega
installed .vxd and a Windows driver. It has
been suggested that renaming the Windows
version of the driver DRVWQ117.VXD, located
in C:\Windows\system\iosubsys can get rid of
the problem. You may have to reboot the
system twice after renaming the file.
CleanSweep and other installation monitors
can monitor all disk activity during a
program's installation. If you are
installing some application, say ProgramX,
and CleanSweep is monitoring the
installation it assumes that all disk
activity is related to the ProgramX's
installation. If Second Copy is running in
the background at the same time and copying
files, CleanSweep wrongly assumes that the
files copied by Second Copy and updates to
the Second Copy profile are also related to
ProgramX's installation. Later, if you use
ClearnSweep's automatic uninstallation
routine to remove ProgramX, it may delete
Second Copy profiles and other files.
Solution:
Do not use CleanSweep's automatic uninstall
feature (use the manual feature and make
sure to skip over any unrelated entries) or
exit all other background applications, such
as Second Copy, before monitoring ProgramX's
installation.
CD
disks are subject to an error called
buffer underrun. It happens when the
computer is not supplying data quickly
enough to the CD writer for it to record the
data properly. The most common causes of
buffer underrun are out-of-date drivers or a
system that does not meet the minimum
requirements for CD burning.
