Great product, been using for years!

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall its a great product and has worked flawlessly for me and my customers for years. I think I started using your backup 5 or 6 years ago. I've installed on 75 computer systems for myself and my customers. Love the product.

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..

30 new versions installed to try to fix a Windows Server incremental backup issue to Microsoft OneDrive

2.0 3 months ago

Comments: I purchased the software and the ease of installation and setup for use with Mcrosoft OneDrive.
The compressed and protected backups of a Windows server have always worked but unfortunately I immediately had problems with the incremental backups and had to pay for support.
They were very friendly and helpful but I have since installed over 30 new versions to try and fix the problem!
Now I hope it is solved...

Pros:

Easy installation and setup. Very light application.

Cons:

Paid support. Difficulty setting up the software for use with Microsoft OneDrive.

Iperius Backup

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Excellent, and when support was needed, it was available.

Pros:

Affordable, easy to use, reliable. Simple licensing that just works without hassle and without nthe possibility that it can just stop working if the licensine server is unavailable.

Cons:

Inability to span tapes. I could use the product on some more sites if it were able to handle multiple tapes or tape drives.

finalmente un software semplice da usare ma completo

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Overall I was impressed with its potential

Pros:

it's easy to use and above all it's in Italian, what I needed was to save hyper-v virtual machines in a simple way and Iperius does it.

Cons:

You cannot perform an incremental backup of a Hyper-V virtual machine unless you boot from the machine itself.

Iperius works well and great pricing

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: We needed a reliable inexpensive backup solution to fit many scenarios and Iperius fits that very well. We backup data, VMs, full hard drives, I've restored VMs in a matter of hours, restored individual databases in minutes, its great software, and the free version works for most needs but we use paid for VMs. Support has always been responsive

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

I have been using this software on 20-30 computers and it runs like a charm everywhere.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: It allows us effortlessly handle all our clients backup needs.

Pros:

It has just the right mix of features and simplicity. There are enough features to handle almost any backup scenario but not so many that the software becomes difficult to use.

Cons:

There are a few places where buttons don't follow Windows default layout recommendations which can be a bit confusing. But not much to complain about really.

Pros:

this software is fast. it's easy to install and use. it backs up just about anything you need to backup.

Cons:

it was a little hard to get access to certain network drives and files, but after i figured that out, everything went well.

I've implemented this backup software for some of my particular costumers

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Version free for file backup is very good and stable, and it´s capable to give IP admins the option to get backups with certain backup policies for retention. If you have a DB engine and it is capable to backup itself to a file, this can be backed up with same policies

Cons:

The way to organize incremental or differential backups is not easy to understand, maybe you are expected to get a file for each day the backup task is configured and the validity of it, and this is not in that way

Our backup tool of choice

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: Iperius backup has always been our go-to tool to get simple A-to-B backup(scheduled) achieved, reliably!

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.
