| Creating a full backup using Second Copy 2000
This is Rose Vines' step by step guide on creating a full backup
using Second Copy 2000. Before you start, you can download and install

1. Select New Profile from the File menu and in the next screen,
select Custom Setup, so you can adjust the options.
2. Second Copy uses a series of questions – What?, Which?,
Where?, When? and How? – to prompt you through creating a
backup. For a full backup, specify the root folder (usually C:\)
of your hard drive and enable the Include Sub Folders option when
prompted to choose What to back up. In the next section, you'll
be asked Which files to back up. Select the ‘Only selected
files and folders’ option, then click the Select button. Go
through each of the folders and select those you've noted on your
master backup list.
3. After selecting the folders you wish to back up, you'll be
asked Where and When you want the backup. Select the backup location
(CD, other hard drive, and so on), then choose to perform a Manual
backup for your full backup. You can then perform this backup at
a time of your choosing. For incremental or differential backups,
you should schedule the backup to run at a particular time.
4. Second Copy lets you perform a variety of backups. In most cases,
you'll want to use the Simple Copy method. If you're strapped for
space on your backup media, you can use one of the compressed options.
Then click the Advanced Properties button.
5. In the Advanced Properties, tick the ‘Clear archive bit
after copy’ option. When you perform a subsequent incremental
backup, you should also enable the preceding option. If your backup
is likely to occupy more than one disk, enable the ‘Span files
across multiple removable disks’ option.
6. Finally, you'll be asked to provide a descriptive name for the
backup profile. To run your backup, place your backup media in the
drive and double-click the profile's icon.
