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.
