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

To start Secure Copy

•

Click Start, point to Programs | Quest | Secure Copy 7, and choose Secure Copy 7.

Examining the main window

When you first open Secure Copy®, the Job Summary page for the Default job displays. The display is divided into two panes.

•

In the pane on the left, you can view a list of the copy jobs you create. Beneath each copy job is a list of the options that you can set. At the bottom of the Jobs pane are the module buttons where you can choose to view the job status, run update utilities, view logs, or run reports.

•

In the pane on the right, you view the job summary or the selected option page.

You can create and run a copy job quickly from the Job Summary page, or you can create a more complex copy job by using the copy options that are listed beneath each copy job in the Jobs pane. See creating a basic job and Setting copy options.
