Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Iperius Backup to protect our small customers' data. It's a cost-effective software that allows us to copy data both locally and remotely and needs very little time to be put in place. This is our go-to solution for very small infrastructures with 0-1 servers and we monitor it via their Iperius Console.

Pros

  • Less than 15' to set up
  • It has its own cloud storage solution
  • It has a monitoring console
  • It's very cost effective

Cons

  • Lack of clear documentation
  • Rsync not supported
  • Apparently NFS shares are supported but it's not clear how to use them
  • Iperius Console should be improved (it's almost a read-only dashboard and you need too many clicks to get where you want to go)

Most Important Features

  • Easy to configure
  • Moderate price
  • Own cloud storage solution

Return on Investment

  • One standard solution for small customers
  • One console to monitor backup jobs
