N.B: In order to avoid keeping duplicated folders containing the same image backup (in fact, Windows creates each time a folder named with a timestamp), you have to enable Synchronization. Finally, this option can also be used to keep multiple copies, simply adding a destination to the same folder in the “Destinations” panel and choosing the number of copies to keep. In this case, the whole backup process will be completed in two steps: first Iperius will create the drive image in the item destination, then the image backup is copied to other destinations, such as LTO tape drives, other computers in the network, NAS devices, Amazon S3 etc. However, you might want to copy the backup files to further destinations. When you configure a system image, it’s not mandatory to add additional destinations to the backup job (panel “Destinations”), because a destination is already included in the item. For example, when the destination is a NAS, usually it is necessary to specify a user account of the NAS (username and password) to access the network.Īdditional destinations and/or maintenance of multiple copies

Looking at the picture below, we can choose to specify a network destination. You must specify the source drive, so that one you want to backup (generally C, the system disk) and the destination folder, that can be another disk drive or a shared folder in the network: See also: Drive Image Backup, P2V and Disk Cloning with Iperius (Iperius Drive Image with recovery drive creation and Iperius Recovery Environment®)įrom the program main window, create a new backup job:Ĭlick on the button circled by red in the picture below to configure the system image backup. This backup type, based on Windows Image Backup (wbadmin), is available on Windows Vista, Server 2008/R2, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 – Server 2012/R2, Server 2016 and Server 2019. The restore can be made even on dissimilar hardware. Iperius Backup allows to make incremental image backups (block-level backup) and, thanks to the standard format VHD/VHDX, makes possible to restore single files by mounting the file image. Your system will be completely reinstalled and be working like before the disaster. This backup type is very useful in case of system crashes, virus attacks or hardware failures because it allows not only to recover all of your files but also to be operational again in a few time. In fact, you don’t have to reinstall programs or reconfigure your work environment.

The image backup is made automatically and without any service interruption or system reboot, therefore without interfering with the user work.

Among its features, you have the full system image backup ( Drive Image), that allows to backup and restore the entire system in a few clicks. Iperius is a powerful and complete backup software for Windows.
