Pros Scheduling of backups Restore time Easy to set up Notifications Cons Office 365 functionality not available for backups Alternatives considered [Veeam Data Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/154905/Veeam-Availability-Suite/) Reason for choosing Iperius Backup Easy to use and set up, it is basically set up to meet the purpose Review Source BG Bill G. IT Consultant Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Iperius Backup" December 23, 2024 5.0 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. Reason for choosing Iperius Backup Capacity related licensing. The backup can become problematic if the quantity of data rises. Switched from [Veritas Backup Exec](https://www.capterra.com/p/231491/Backup-Exec/) Unfriendly licensing and high costs that recurr. Review Source Response from Enter January 22, 2025 Thank you for your positive review! We’re glad you find Iperius Backup affordable, reliable, and easy to use.

IT Government Administration Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Three Servers still not backup up after 6 (six) weeks." January 21, 2025 1.0 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. Review Source Response from Enter January 22, 2025 I’m sorry to hear about your experience. While your ticket was automatically closed, I want to assure you that our technical team has continued working on your case to fully understand the situation and provide a solution.

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 GA George A. Owner Computer Hardware Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product, been using for years!" 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 FR Francesco R. Engineer Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "30 new versions installed to try to fix a Windows Server incremental backup issue to Microsoft OneDrive" December 19, 2024 2.0 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.

We are very happy with the product and the solution it provides to us. Pros Ease of setup/configuration/implementation/restoration - you don't need any of these to be difficult. Iperius is not. Cons Original bugs/features when first purchased in 2020. These have been fixed or eliminated resulting in a very stable product - that is continually adding more features. Alternatives considered [Veeam Data Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/154905/Veeam-Availability-Suite/) Reason for choosing Iperius Backup Ease of configuration/setup and cost. Veeam did not meet our (cheap/cost effective) requirements. Functionally it was a nightmare as well. Switched from [Acronis Cyber Protect](https://www.capterra.com/p/237140/Acronis-Cyber-Protect/) Cost and functionality - Acronis did not perform as advertised. Review Source DC Davide C. business owner Computer & Network Security Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "finalmente un software semplice da usare ma completo" October 18, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source Kevin H. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Iperius Backup - little know gem of a product" November 22, 2023 5.0 Overall we select this product as our "go to" backup application for new clients. Pros Iperius is a very cost effective solution. It is the only backup solution we offer clients now. Cons Backing up Exchange server VMs is more complicated than it should be. Reason for choosing Iperius Backup Iperius is a basic secure and robust backup application Switched from [Veritas Backup Exec](https://www.capterra.com/p/231491/Backup-Exec/) escalating costs year on year. the entry level product is out of most small companies budget 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.

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.

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. Review Source DV Dominique V.

Currently testing on a Paste machine.Also used to image HHD before swapping them out, or moving to an SSD. 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.
