1. Right click on the profile and select Properties.

2. Select Custom setup.

3. Click Next until you see the "Which files?" page.

4. In the edit box under "Exclude file specifications" enter \SubFolder1\

5. Click the Add button next to the edit box, then click Next, Next and Finish.

At times you may need to restore all of the files from the destination back to the source. Second Copy makes this easy for you. Mark the profile you want to restore and then select Restore from the Tools menu. This would copy the files from the destination folder back to the source folder.

If you want to restore the files somewhere else, then you can use Windows Explorer that you are already familiar with.

1. Select Right click on the profile and select "Source files...". This will open an
    Explorer Window with your source folder.

2. Right click on the profile again and select "Destination files...". This will open
    another Explorer Window with your destination folder.

3. Now you can simply select files from the destination folder that you want to
    restore and drag-and-drop them on the source folder.

4. If the files are compressed, instead of drag-and-drop use the Extract files
    feature.

First, uncheck the box "Start at log in" under Edit | Options | Startup tab.  Then right mouse click on the Second Copy icon in the system tray, and select Exit.

1. Right click the profile and select Properties

2. Go to the How tab

3. Click the Advanced Properties button

4. Click the Compress tab

5. Select "Do not use destination folder for temporary Zip files"

1. Use UNC name to address the drive instead of the drive letter and a colon. e.g.
    Use \\computername\sharename instead of C:\

2. Create two separate profiles, one for the root directory files only and another
    for the folders.

1. Second Copy first selects only those folders which match with the include folder
    specification.

2. Then within those folders it only considers files that match the file specification.

3. Then it uses exclude specifications to eliminate any files are folders from
    consideration.

4. Now the remaining files are candidates for the copy process.
