Iperius Backup

Pros

This software has literally everything you can ask for in a backup program. The fact that I can choose exactly where, when, how, etc I want to back things up is incredible. You aren't just stuck choosing to backup a local backup, but you have the options of backing up from FTP, disk cloning, esxi, hyper-v, Microsoft Exchange, and specifically tailored options for backing up an SQL server, or oracle systems.

As far as destinations go, you can backup to the cloud, through ftp, a tape backup, a local disk or external drive with zero limitations.

Scheduling can be as detailed as you want but what really makes this program shine in my eyes are the options you get for how to handle backups. (Advanced options)

You can exclude or include system files with the click of a single button, you can easily change how detailed the logs are and very specific event triggers to notify you when something goes wrong, or even when it doesn't. It has file compression, incremental backups, you can choose file revision history, incremental backups, full backups, and even have the program start another program as soon as a backup ends or right before it starts.

It uses hardly any system resources even if left running 24/7 for real time backups.

If there is an error the logs are very specific allowing you to tell exactly what file caused an issue or what errors the program encountered. This is extremely helpful to me allowing me to backup exactly what was missed due to errors

Cons

For a new user not versed in how to use the software it can absolutely be a daunting experience. The options and choices for how to do things can easily confuse someone not familiar with the program layout or how to navigate the software as there is such a huge selection of options to select from.

Pros

We use Iperius for daily backups of all out data, both full daily drive backups and VMs with full then incremental. We backup to a NAS which Iperius does without any issues. i get daily emails and good logs of the backups to easily troubleshoot any issues

Cons

The scheduler defaults do not work for use, but its easily adjusted

Pros

I like this software because is easy to use and set up, backup are fast enough and it has the features I need.

Cons

IT support is really bad!!! They never solve my issues. The answers are never relevant and the new online ticketing is concentrated to close the ticket and not to solve the issues. It' not good!!! Very bad!!!

Pros

I changed my server and could not get Iperius software running again.
With the perfect help of your support I got it running again - now everything is fine!

Cons

everything is fine, no problems at all from iperius side

Pros

Great tool that has just enough functionality but not too much so as to be over-complicated for the goal to be achieved

Cons

There is nothing that sticks out, perhaps the unique pc code during installation, just a minor extra step when it comes to deploying... "could" be time consuming if deploying on a few machines at a time.

Pros

Broad range of sources and destinations.

Cons

Some weird translations when selecting french :)

Pros

Low Price, an very good Performance.
Easy to use

Cons

Backups are bigger than other Backup Software

Pros

It is a simple and very powerful product, perhaps a point to improve several tasks of backups and the management of Exchange 365

Cons

Perhaps a point to improve several tasks of backups and the management of Exchange 365

Pros

Simple and efective, simple to create and manage backup

Cons

Some errors on some backups and needs to configure

Pros

Easy Good designed ux / ui
Simples to use uns setup

Cons

Multispanning vor LTO, RDX etc. Is hardly missing as a implemented tool.

Pros

Ease of use, reliability, backup speed and a wealth of features

Cons

The lack of a calendar type screen for verifying backup scheduling and their outcome

Pros

Ease to configure
Cloud Backup
Computer Backup
Vmware low price backup for free version of
vmware

Cons

Cloud configuration not easy and latest how to not avaluable Dropbox and Gdrive

Pros

Iperius Backup has simplified my backup experience with our VMWARE environment. The user-friendly interface, automatic scheduling, and speedy backups make it a standout. Reliable restores and efficient background operation make it my go-to solution for hassle-free data protection. Highly recommended!

Cons

I don't have complains about the Iperius Backup

Pros

Easy to use and price is best part of this software

Cons

Multiple license management need to manage.

Pros

It appears to be the only product capable of backing up esxi (free) at a reasonable price.

Cons

A list of all ports required for backups/ restore across a subnet firewall would help.

Pros

The ability to mirror system drives to quickly recover when the OS or HW stops functioning. Do not have to reinstall software, licensing, drivers, etc. Days of reconstruction become hours.

Cons

Would like to see the ability to compare mirrored images to insure all files were captured. This feature would also be nice in regards to backup sets.

Pros

I like how easy the program is to work with and how easy it is to set up

Cons

there is nothing I don't like about Iperius.

Pros

Love the ability to backup vmware multiple ways with multiple destinations. The price cannot be beat, and it really is a fast nightly backup when you use changed block tracking. I have used several other much more expensive products, and after trying Iperius in multiple environments, there really is no comparison, Iperius outperforms them all when a cost vs. performance ratio is analyzed.

Cons

If I had to choose a small negative about the software, I would say the English translation could be improved a bit, I have found some grammatical errors. Many versions ago this led to some difficulty configuring, but they seem to be improving in many areas with every new version.

Pros

Easy to use. You get real value for money. I can use FTP, Dropbox, anything I want to. As many Schedules as I wish and its just so easy. There are a lot of features for the purchase price. I recommend this product when asked what do I use.

Cons

Not everything is translated into English. Columns etc. A theme option would be a nice feature to add. Not much to say negatively about the product.

Pros

Manage Multiple Windows Image Backups, disconnect the USB disks when the file backup is complete.

Cons

does not zip virtual machines, do not disconnect the USB disks when the image backup is complete.

Pros

It was quick to integrate and has a simplistic UI.

Cons

No ioSafe integration, so half of our server backups were unusable. General setup could have been more intuitive.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Reasonably Simple to setup, Works, the only product that backs up VM's using ESXi 6.5 FREE for small organisations it is ideal with only a few VM's
Simple Interface

Cons

The interface not very intuitive, Logs are not very intuitive or explain the problem

Pros

realy nice to see. Easy to configure and use. the configuration of the vm with exsi server is really easy to select and comprehensive. The bandwith is shared by the software just like a charm.

Cons

more configuration on the targed machine to backup, and not really want documented....
On exsi, goggle was my friend to see where are the problem and the configuration to include. Why don't using ssh and make the configuration automaticaly with your software?

Pros

I like the type of backups available, I mostly use the hard drive image and backup to FTP server. I've used your boot disk to recover multiple systems where hard drives have crashed, via the drive image/clone backup. Worked great. Also like that it can run a service, just have to make sure that you setup to run as administrator. There are just many great features incorporated into your software.

Cons

The one thing that really gets to be a pain, is if you insert a thumb drive or any other device that changes the disk layout. All scheduled backups fail during the list disk part of the backup, cause the disk layout has changed. Even though the drive letters remain the same. Would be great if you could solve that problem. Thats the only con that I have at this time..
