About Secure Copy

Quest® Secure Copy® is a comprehensive solution for data duplication, local group and user migration, share migration, and NTFS permissions configuration. Secure Copy permits seamless migration, allowing an administrator to copy files and directories on NTFS partitions while keeping the security intact, creating shares, and migrating local groups. All of this functionality is available in an easy to use interface, which keeps you updated on copy progress, as well as any errors that may occur.

Secure Copy also includes functionality such as differential copying, full command line support, and scheduling jobs to run after hours. Secure Copy supports Windows® 8.1/10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019 environments and is compatible with the Microsoft® Cluster Service.

Starting Secure Copy
