Very clear to add source drives / folders to backup and destination drive (USB removable) to backup to. Backup is password protected zip file (easy and simple to restore in case of any problem). If any backup error, always the log file to check what went wrong to correct it. Also every night email alert with the backup status. **What do you dislike about Iperius Backup?** Nothing to dislike about Iperius, but not sure if it has live SQL database backup, but checking Iperius website, they do have database support now. **Recommendations to others considering Iperius Backup:** It does save you time and money to use Iperius for backup with email alert of backup status. Nothing worse than unable to get the a file or a folder after accidental deletion. Support is brilliant and it very good value for money. Before using Iperius we had to spend a lot of money to recover a dead drive, thankfully with iperius daily backup, we have all that under controil. **What problems is Iperius Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** Accidental file(s) deletion is common and Iperius backup was always there to get it us sorted. Also to make sure I have company backup in case of fire or theft. This is vital for company to continue just in case of a disaster recovery. Currently I use Acronis for drive cloning but I will certainly explore iperius drive cloning ### 9. SIMPLE EASY AND RELIABLE SOFWARE **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicolas R. | Rentals manager - IT support - Purchasing Manager - Language Mediator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2019 **What do you like best about Iperius Backup?** The simplicity, the ease of use and the reliability. It is basically the kind of sowftware which includes all the options of configuration one can need in a small or middle company. I guess a big company could also use it but this is a bit out of our range. I'm honestly happy I used Cobian in the past but this software gives much better solutions. I seriously recommend it. **What do you dislike about Iperius Backup?** So far I don't have any complaints. All works more than correctly, and the logs show you any error which might occur but by now no errors from the software itself, the errors were due to our server or because some files were in use. I have been using it for many months so far and all seems just right. **Recommendations to others considering Iperius Backup:** If you were using Cobian or similar software (free or pay versions) you can consider Iperius as your new provider. It worked for us and we are very happy. **What problems is Iperius Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** Previously I used Cobian, which is a great free tool. Nonetheless, Cobian wasn't enough as it was lacking configuration features which Iperius vastly provides. I guess that's because it is a pay version and to me it was absolutely worth the investment. ### 10. It is recommendable for both business and individual user **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Meng H. | Technical support, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Iperius Backup?** The software is light, it takes small space, but it has adundant functions. It has multiple editions that can meet various need: desktop, essential, advanced tape, advanced DB, advance virtual machine, advance Exchange, and full edition. Users only need to pick what they need. The embedded FTP function is robust, which can automatically back up data to cloud storages, so as to realize the remote disaster recovery. The scheduled backup tasks is what we prefer because it can be done at night when people are not in office. This can save a lot of time, and will not affect the daytime job. The mail notification function is also an important function, because users can receive the backup result information in time. **What do you dislike about Iperius Backup?** We hope the backup function for Linux system can be supplemented soon. The UI is a little bit homogeneous. The tutorials in Chinese are not sufficient. **Recommendations to others considering Iperius Backup:** As it says, it is highly cost-effective. And we strongly recommend it to the potential users. No matter they are big businesses or ordinary users, they can find the right edition that can meets their need. We have compared to other similar products in market, and find its advantage in both price and functionality. **What problems is Iperius Backup solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have used Iperius to make backup of database for remote disaster recovery, which can ensure the security of data. The scheduled backup and email notification it provides saves a lot of time and also helps us to keep close attention to the backup results. ## Iperius Backup Discussions - [why is it difficult to enter cloud accounts?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/why-is-it-difficult-to-enter-cloud-accounts) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Does Iperius license expire?
