I was looking for an easy backup program for many of my clients who use
either flash drives or external drives to backup their pictures or
Documents. I have a client who is a doctor and is in the middle of changing
his medical software. the software is easy to understand but what he has to
backup is a bit difficult. In Program files/ginkco he has to back up the
whole program files. I thought this was a bit off so I called the company
and they confirmed the same. The problem like most folders- ie My documents
is when there is a change you either have to delete the folder, or make
another folder and call it for example- "Program files 2" or something like
that because a manual backup doesn't update the change itself- the user has
to do it and it is a royal pain in the butt. They recommended Second Copy
(

So I downloaded the software to see how it works since they let you trial it
for a month,
Well I was real impressed. I put it through tests you would not believe.
and it will also backup across a network- I tested that too. and it can do
incremental updated files like a breeze and even a dummy can figure it out.
What it does is you make a profile for each Main Folder you want- like a
"My Pictures" Profile and/or a "My document"
profile. You have the choice if your external hd is connected to do a
daily, hourly, weekly or manual backup. I do a daily network backup to
another computer and I do a manual update for an external HD. You can set
as many profiles as needed and each profile is set separately from each
other. I liked the program so well I actually bought it for myself. It
sells for $29.95 and it is well worth it and as long as you use it for your
own personal use you can put it on up to 3 computers.
after talking to the owner of the company he is giving me the opportunity to
raffle off the program at my seminars. I only do this for programs I use
myself and again I was so impressed by this one.
Try it out- it installs like a breeze. Once it installs set it up as a
custom setup which gives you more flexibility
you can see some shots here too on how to use it

the only thing I ask is if you decide to purchase it if where it says "where
did you hear about this program"
I would appreciate if you put R&D Internet Associates. At least he will
know how appreciative I am of him
