You select files and folders and set a destination and schedule. The free edition supports inter alia incremental copying, ZIP compression, email notifications and commands before or after a task. Network destinations require appropriate login data and rights.

Disc images, backups of virtual machines, databases and various online destinations are part of more extensive editions. The product family is therefore wider than Free. Choose a function for your plan only when it is clear that it falls within the license used.

When you file backup, look for planning, version retention and the way you restore loose files. Some apps make ordinary copies, others use archives. This determines whether you need the same app for recovery and how much protection you have against an overwritten file.

Who is it for?

You want to configure recurring file tasks on Windows, for example to an external drive or NAS. It doesn't fit if you expect a system image or database backup as a free core function.

Getting started

Install the free edition, configure source and destination and perform the task manually. Check recovery and then set schedule and notifications.

Privacy

You determine the file selection and storage location. Use limited network permissions and keep account details carefully. Email notifications may contain information about task names and file locations.

Good to know

Free is focused on file backups. Among other things, system images, virtualization, database and extensive cloud features have their own paid editions.

Please note

An automatic task can fail when a NAS or external drive is not accessible. Check notifications and actual result, not just whether the schedule is enabled.

Advantages

  • You can do file tasks with a fixed schedule.
  • You can use ZIP compression and incremental processing.
  • You can set notifications and additional commands.

Things to consider

  • Images, databases and many advanced features require a paid edition.
  • Network access must also work on automatic execution.
  • A current copy is not automatically a series of older recovery points.

Our verdict

Iperius Free is useful for targeted file backups to own storage. The task settings and notifications are especially valuable when you want to be able to review the result regularly. Don't let all business functions offered on the same website guide you; they don't automatically belong to Free.

With a small task check the network access, changes and recovery of a file. For a complete PC or database you need other functions. Choose this edition if its defined file task really solves the problem you want to overcome.
