Second Copy is packed with powerful features for most backup needs.  Please don't be fooled by Second Copy's simple interface.  We kept it simple for the 90% of the people who don't like to worry about backups and are not so computer literate.  The basic interface provides all important functions to perform a reliable backup for them. However, there are many advanced features kept out of the way for advanced computer users, by avoiding clutter and complicated interface. These advanced features are well designed and documented.
