Best backup tool i have experienced
Comments: I have used the free version for over 5 years and i like the advanced full version now, am quite happy with this solution that i became a partner to create awareness around the country on how good the tool is for system admins.
Pros:
Scheduling of backups Restore time Easy to set up Notifications
Cons:
Office 365 functionality not available for backups
Alternatives Considered:
Great product, been using for years!
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
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.
Perfect backup software!
Comments: I highly recommend this software that allows you to make multiple physical and cloud backups!
Pros:
Very simple to use and tutorials are very helpful!
Cons:
Nothing.. I’m very satisfied for everything
Alternatives Considered:
Iperius Backup
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
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.
Great software/Need Better Activation policies
Pros:
Has all of the add-ons a business could need
Cons:
re-activations are a pain if you make 1 mistake or need to move software temporarily while upgrading main hardware.
Three Servers still not backup up after 6 (six) weeks.
Comments: Pathetic. Have sent in logs multiple times, have sent information from VSS Doctor, but no one can identify a solution. Are my Microsoft Servers all that different than all the others throughout the world?
Pros:
I cannot get it to work on three Microsoft Servers. I cannot get a solution from Support, I elected to pay for support and still get no results. Now get an email that says they are closing my ticket.
Cons:
Send issue in email and only one of the issues are addressed, like the techs do not read the entire email.

Ideal backup solution for small and medium business
Comments: All good. Customer support is really good.
Pros:
Cust. support, Simple and easy navigation interface, No recurring charges
Cons:
Nothing to say infact. May be iperius cloud charges are on the higher side compared to google one. If a more flexible package is available, people may opt for it more.

Alternatives Considered:
Strong solution with a good value for the money
Comments: Quite good, the logs could be more detailed (even in debugmode it would be nice to see the actual function call with their values) to aid debugging.
Pros:
It boils down to the very competitive price point. It has all the right features for a fair price, ideally for an SME to just give it a shot and risk deploying it. We will likely deploy further smaller installs in off-sites.
Cons:
There is some issue in backing up Exchange 2019 on-premise if the backup host is not domain joined. There is a KB page about it but sadly, implementing the details here did not help resolve the issue. I will now open a ticket and hope it can be fixed. However, general system and incremental backups of Exchange work perfectly so it is more a detail rather then an issue.
Review from Nifty Solutions
Pros:
it has API option to almost all cloud service provider. value for money.
Cons:
every time it create a new backup folder. it should have capability to commulate all teh backup and create single restore with latest files.

Review
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.

Very Stable Backup Software
Comments: Overall experience is very good.
Pros:
Installed on all of our workstations for backing up the file to the NAS. It running on the background without much system resources and copying the files to destinations without a single issue. I can also disable or enable notifications like other software. But this is stable.
Cons:
Since it installed 6 month ago, it never checked automatically for any version updates.

Iperius Products
Comments: Excellent support
Pros:
Great for looking after computers for Backup and also remote control
Cons:
Nothing, it did everything I wanted plus more.
It was the easy to download, install and use. The purchase was easy and I had absolutely no issues.
Comments: Peace of mind!
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.
Inexpensive, Powerful, Easy!
Comments: backup speed and ease of use
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.
Alternatives Considered:
Better alternatives out there; Lack of ioSafe compatibility was the final straw.
Comments: Several test installations for backups were put in place while our team was testing for a potential new backup software. 2 of them, after a few weeks, had somehow not backed anything up and there was no indication as to why. Integrates with Backblaze B2, but majority of our servers are configured with an ioSafe, so it ultimately didn't meet our requirements. It might be a decent piece of software for simpler backup solutions.
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.
Great Product, Simple and It works
Comments: Good Value for money for small organisation
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

Thank you for reviewing Iperius Backup. We really appreciate it! For user-interface honestly, It sounds new because one of the most well-known value recognized by our customers is the intuitiveness, anyway your feedback matter, feel free to send your suggestions to our development department. The log files are detailed but if you have any problem you can count on our support team for free.
backup method on VM and real machine
Comments: backup of my critical vms
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?
Our backup tool of choice
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.
