Restoring files is as simple as using Explorer to drag and drop. After you’ve registered each copy, Iperius’ cloud portal can be used to run existing jobs manually, view logs or view the current status of your backups.
The web console comes in handy for managing multiple installations. You’ll also need a paid-for local installation to secure Outlook PST files using VSS. For Exchange, you can copy database files after shutdown, but there are no facilities for data-store or mailbox backup. For Hyper-V backup, you can copy VHD files using the free version, but if you want VSS hot backups of running VMs, you’ll need at least the Essential version installed on the Hyper-V host. To create Windows drive images for disaster recovery, you need a paid-for installation on each system and a Windows 7 recovery disk to hand for the restore. The software has limitations, the biggest of which is that Iperius doesn’t provide agents for remote systems. LTO-6 performance is modest, however: securing the same 22.4GB test folder of 10,500 files from a NAS share over 10GbE averaged only 50MB/sec CA’s ARCserve Backup r16 returned 165MB/sec with the same test. Using Iperius’ own AES-encrypted cloud backup system is just as simple pricing for the service starts at £32 per year for 50GB.Ī Tandberg RDX USB drive was accepted as a backup destination, as was our HP LTO-6 SAS tape drive. To use Dropbox, we created a new API app, then entered the key and secret into the backup job. The latter averaged 133MB/sec while securing a 22.4GB folder.
To test it, we created backups of local and networked files and folders, then secured them to both local drives and a mapped share on a Synology NAS appliance over 10GbE. Jobs can include system files you can use VSS to secure open or locked files pre- and post-backup jobs can be run and the host system can be closed down or rebooted after the backup has finished.
Iperius offers plenty of control over the backup process.
