Iperius Backup

Iperius Backup is a disk cloning software that can create drive image backups to VHD and VHDX files. Image backups can be created in two modes: using the Iperius proprietary engine, that creates an image file that can be immediately started as a VM into Hyper-V (this backup mode can also be called "P2V", since it can be used to virtualize physical machines), or using the Windows Image Backup engine (wbadmin). Iperius Backup supports the Windows drive imaging (block-level) backup. The disk image created by Iperius Backup can be used to restore the system even on a dissimilar hardware (hardware independent restore). It is also possible to restore individual files and folders.

Iperius Backup is a virtual machine backup software. It can create full, incremental and differential backups (CBT/VDDK) of ESXi and ESXi Free virtual machines. The backup is agentless and the destination of VM backups can be LTO tape drives, NAS devices, cloud storage services like S3 or Google Drive, FTP servers and any mass storage device.

Iperius Backup can replicate virtual machines between ESXi hosts and datastores. Incremental replication is also supported, to create cloned virtual machines and update them at block level, with only modified blocks on the virtual disks. Replication works also for ESXi Free, using ESXi Free hosts as replication source and target.

Iperius Backup is a Hyper-V backup software. It can create hot backups of virtual machines running on the local server or on other servers reachable by the network. The backup is agentless and the destination of VM backups can be LTO tape drives, NAS devices, cloud storage services like S3 or Google Drive, FTP servers and any mass storage device.

Iperius Backup is software for FTP backup on any type of server or NAS. Iperius can send backups to a remote server with a few configurations, with the secure FTPS protocol and also with zip compression and AES 256 bit encryption. It can perform automated upload of entire websites, limit the transfer bandwidth, make parallel transfers to multiple servers.

Iperius Backup is software for backing up SQL Server databases. Compatible with all editions of Microsoft database server: 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2012. It back up unlimited databases and servers, even remote, and run the restore in a simple way, even creating a new database.

Iperius Backup is a software to make backups of Oracle databases, version 9i, 10g, and 11g, from any Windows operating system. Iperius can also make backups of the free database Oracle Express Edition (Oracle XE). In a single backup program, there are several methods to protect Oracle databases, from the basic RMAN back up to the VSS backup (snapshot).

Iperius Backup can use the free cloud storage services offered by well-known providers like Google or Microsoft. Iperius Backup allows to save files remotely to Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, S3 or Azure. It supports automatic compression and AES encryption.

Iperius Backup supports any tape drive. It allows users to save files to DAT, DLT, SDLT, LTO 1/2/3/4 - LTO 5, LTO 6/7/8 devices. It supports data compression and encryption, and parallel backups to multiple tape drives at the same time.

Although the tape backup works well, the tape backup processes do not provide a lot of warning messages (ie "you're about to overwrite a tape. Yes/No").

The tape backup will abort if the tape fills up. There is no option (as of September 2017) to continue the backup on a 2nd tape.

This program can synchronize files and folders to external hard drives or to network devices (like NAS servers). It is possible to copy files and folders to an unlimited number of destinations and keep mirror copies deleting those files no more existing in the source folders.

This program includes compression and encryption features. It creates compatible zip files, and it is possible to choose whether to protect zip files with a password or synchronize the zip file content. Iperius Backup can create unlimited-size zip archives (Zip 64) and it fully supports Unicode and long paths.

After a backup is completed, Iperius can send an e-mail containing the detailed report of the backup procedures (also through the secure SSL protocol), to keep the user informed about the backup result. It is possible to specify different e-mail recipients and different sending conditions (e.g. to send the e-mail depending on the backup result).

Iperius Online Storage: it is possible to save data online with the Iperius cloud backup. With FTP, FTPS ans S3 support, compression and AES client-side encryption.
