Second Copy backs up and synchronizes files between folders on local drives, network locations, and FTP destinations. Profiles define source folders, destinations, and schedules, then monitor for new or changed files and copy them automatically in the background. Options include two-way synchronization, PKZIP-compatible compression, password protection, AES encryption, and retention of up to 25 older file versions. It can copy open files with Windows Shadow Copy and send email notifications after backups.

Second Copy is a Windows file backup and synchronization utility for people who need to keep folders copied to another location on a schedule or whenever files change. It works between folders on the same drive, separate local drives, and network locations, and can also transfer files by FTP. Jobs are set up as profiles, each defining a source, destination, and copying schedule, so different projects or devices can have their own rules.

A profile can monitor its source for new and modified files and copy changes automatically in the background. The setup wizard helps configure the locations and schedule, while include and exclude rules let a job focus on selected files or file groups. For example, a profile can back up a working folder while skipping temporary files. Second Copy can retain up to 25 older versions of files, providing a way to recover an earlier copy after an unwanted change.

For storage and transfer control, profiles can use PKZIP-compatible compression and password protection, with AES encryption available to protect copied data. Two-way synchronization helps keep corresponding folders aligned, such as files shared between a desktop and laptop or between remote sites. The program can also copy open files through Windows Shadow Copy, send email notifications after backups, and adjust background thread priority so its work can run with less impact on other tasks.

These features suit routine personal file backups, maintaining working copies across computers, and distributing software to multiple PCs on a network. Once configured, profiles run unobtrusively from the Windows system tray. Support for long filenames and Unicode characters helps preserve names across a range of files and languages. Users can configure separate profiles for distinct backup or synchronization needs rather than applying one copying rule to every folder.
