Very flexible, easy to use. Lets you back up changed files only on shutdown (after you've done an initial full copy  ). I like to copy rather then back up as you can get your files back or access them at any time without having to do a restore or having the software installed. I tried the trial version and liked it so much I bought the registered version  . It doesn't cost much for the registered version.

Hey Al
Thanks! I just had a look at
Second Copy and from the product details; it certainly looks much closer to what I require for my back ups compared to either Acronis or Norton 360.
All I would like to do is:
- Back up my data documents, photos, spreadsheets, etc.
- Back up Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar, etc (Outlook.pst).
- Only keep the current copy – I don’t need Revision 01, Rev 02..03..n, etc.
- Don’t delete the (archive) copy in the Backup on the backup drive if/when I delete the (master) original on my live data drive.
- Explore the backup archive using a simple method like File Explorer rather than relying on the proprietary methods in some backup applications.
- Run backups on an automated daily schedule looking for new files or files that have changed.
So far, it appears that Second Copy meets the above requirements?
Cheers
Dennis
