Iperius also offers its own cloud storage service, but it is not the most affordable option. The software supports a large selection of cloud storage services, including OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and Amazon S3.

It is also possible to select what you want to do if identical filenames are found. If you decide to protect your ZIP files, you can restore from password-protected ZIP files. While it works fine, it only extracts the ZIP file to the folder that you select. You would need to copy files manually from the destination, or restore them from a ZIP file. Iperius offers the option of restoring files, but the functionality is not as solid as the backing up one. Iperius offers incremental backups, meaning that it only copies the changes performed since the last backup.

The last step is to give a name to your backup and describe it, before it is added to the main menu, along with the rest of the backups you create after that. You can schedule the backup and select email notifications. You can create a new backup job from the main menu and the program takes you through every step of the process, from selecting the data to back up, to choosing the location to store it. Iperius provides an easy way to back up files and folders. The free edition has many fans as it offers simple data backups, as well as support for Windows Server.

Over the last few years, the software has gained popularity thanks to the fact that it is a feature-rich option that allows users to back up to widely used options like Amazon S3, Dropbox and Google Drive. Enter Srl is the Italian company behind Iperius, a backup solution that has been around since 2012.
