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.

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.

September 17, 2024 5.0 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.. Alternatives considered [Acronis True Image](https://www.capterra.com/p/234347/Acronis-True-Image/) Reason for choosing Iperius Backup Features, ease of use, reliability, FTP backup scheduling, network backup, disk imaging (clone), shut down when finished, bootable restore ability, data access to backups, easy update, easy license transfer to a new system, price .... Switched from [Acronis True Image](https://www.capterra.com/p/234347/Acronis-True-Image/) Acronis got too self controlled, not able to fine tune features, AOMEI not enough control either, Paragon is great but hard to use for my customers, but they do the best cloning software that works 99.9% of the time, especially with boot partitions Review Source LB Laurent B. Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect backup software!" October 28, 2024 5.0 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 Switched from [Gravity](https://www.capterra.com/p/149232/Gravity/) I was not satisfied of my previous backup software Review Source RB Robert B. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long term user" July 3, 2025 5.0 I can't think of anything better to replace it. I tried competitive software, nothing worth to mention. Pros I have been using it for more than 12 years. I never had a problem with, it's perfect for what I do (tape backups). Support is fast, although I only had to reach them to suggest new features.. Cons I would like the ability to minimize it to tray during a backup or a restore. I also prefer software that use standard Windows borders, but that's minor.

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.
