I have a license of Second Copy. It is a convenient and configurable package that automates regular file copies, even performs data verification. However, I use it for my Outlook mailbox + working files and, if it finds a locked or temporary file, it spins forever chasing its own tail and requiring a terminate via Task Manager. This happens even if the option to "attempt to copy files in use" is disabled. I still use it but it clearly requires some babysitting.
I use Veeam Agent for Windows. It is free, mature and very stable. (and won't trip over an in-use file because it uses volume shadow copy)

Single file restore through to full bare metal restore.
At work, we have been using its big brother Veeam Backup and Replication.
We have been using it for 6 years - Backup, replication and restore testing - flawless, it has never let us down.
The Veeam Agent uses the same underlying technology.
I am not associated with Veeam, just a very happy user.
Unsoldering tubes, remembering the old times when using syringe needles.

Perhaps I should have prefaced my post with the fact I am using Windows 10 Pro with Second Copy, which may well be the source of its problems.
Unsoldering tubes, remembering the old times when using syringe needles.Aha. Desoldering needles. Googling for unsoldering tubes does not provide EE soldering, but plumbing soldering.

The site refers to a 30day free trail period?
You remove the main volume of solder from the joint using your preferred method, then you heat the joint again and push the metal tube of the tool over the pin, seperating the pin from the copper trace in the hole. It doesn't do the entire de-solder, it's just a method to free the component pin inside the hole.

Veeam Agent for Windows is free.
SecondCopy is not.

+If its free, why then do I need to register in order to download it and there is 100% defo a 30 day free trail, why would they refer to it thus if it was free? Something not adding up here me thinks.

Removing the pin often isn't the hard part. Getting rid of the solder plug in the hole is. I used to use a dupont breadboard wire, heat the pad, push it through. That was until I lifted pad off a board. Got away with it as I could use another pin for the job, but... I have now moved to the heavy guns and a 1mm drill bit! Not sure which is worse.
I might try these solder tube needles things to see if it helps.

I cannot see where you are referring to a 30 day trial.
Their cloud repository support comes with a 30 day trial, but you don't need that if you are backing up to local NAS or removable drive.
The registration is not an issue, just use a disposable email address.
I registered using my real email address and they only send me marketing hype a couple of times a year at most.
Entirely up to you.
