Sky Copy+

Sky Copy+ is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you back up and transfer your Sky+ and Sky HD hard drives.

The tool can be used for upgrading to a larger hard drive, upgrading from Sky+ to Sky HD, making copies if your Sky box is replaced, as well as replacing the hard drive in case you have encountered errors.

In order to use the program, you need to install it on Microsoft XP, Vista or 7, and connect your drive via external USB caddies or internal ATA connection or use both external USB and internal ATA connections.

You are welcomed by a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to perform most actions with minimal effort. A help manual is included in the package in case you want to read more about the program’s capabilities.

The application lets you select the preferred source and destination drives from drop-down lists and view information about each drive, such as directory, recorded data, duration, size, type, channel, title, and description.

As soon as you connect your drive, Sky Copy+ gives you the possibility to select between several tasks, such as copy (used for replacing or upgrading your Sky hard drive), back up (save important recordings on your existing Sky disk), restore (in case you have previously made a backup of a Sky disk, you can view your recordings again in the Sky box), or convert (useful for upgrading your satellite receiver to a new model) a disk.

All things considered, Sky Copy+ integrates a smart suite of features and provides a user-friendly environment for helping you carry out Sky+ backup-related tasks, and can be mastered by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
