It has comprehensive scheduling and e-mail sending functions.

The current version of Iperius Backup- 4.6.3, looks very different from the image provided by I am Baas- it features a dull, flat, monochrome interface:

Limitations according to Softpedia:
LIMITATIONS IN THE UNREGISTERED VERSION
  • Cannot perform Cloud or FTP Backup
  • Cannot password protect the configuration
  • Cannot copy NTFS permissions
  • Synchronization with old file deletion is disabled
  • Disk Image - Disaster Recovery feature is disabled
  • Cannot be run as service
  • Cannot open file backup (VSS)
  • Cannot be interfaced with the Web Console or Iperius Online Storage
  • Cannot Tape Backup
  • Cannot backup and restore databases
  • Cannot backup VMware ESXi virtual machines
Synchronization with old file deletion is disabled and Disk Image - Disaster Recovery feature is disabled give it the characteristics of a demo, at least for me. By the way it still seems to be portable- IperiusConfig.ini and IperiusAccounts.ini files plus Jobs and Logs sub-folders in program folder.

Edit
Iperius Backup has a simple but nice built-in FTP client:

Synchronization with old file deletion is disabled
I can understand some of the other listed limits like the VMware and tape backup limitations, but excluding sync+delete is out of step with almost every other free backup/sync programs I've tested here on the site. Unless this program has some other great extras, I can't see why you'd use this over any one of our existing sync programs.

At a second glance the GUI doesn't look that bad to me but Synchronization with old file deletion is absolutely essential indeed.

Update here: Still in development, still advertising portability.

Currently at version 7.5.5 (Changelog: https://www.iperiusbackup.com/news.aspx)

Primary listed features:

Incremental backup to NAS, disk, USB, RDX, network
Automatic backup and e-mail notifications
Compression, running of external scripts, advanced filters

Comparison of free vs. other versions: https://www.iperiusbackup.com/backup-so ... px#compare which basically says no cloud, drive clone, recovery disk, and FTP.

Currently at version 7.8.2 (Changelog: https://www.iperiusbackup.com/news.aspx)
Tested: not portable

The setup, extracted with InnoEx (it's a Inno Setup build), if launched shows these issues:
Program writes on:
1. registry: HKLM\Software\Iperius Backup
2. system: it writes in %ProgramData% the subfolder 'Iperius Backup' that contains some program settings
3. system: program suggest to add PATH variable that point to folder where is the executable (Iperius.exe)
4. if You use yaP, the folder 'App' contains new folders and files:
--> new folders: Jobs, Logs
--> new files: IperiusAccount.ini and IperiusConfig.ini

Here is an early (imperfect) version of the yaP launcher: suggestions are welcome. :roll:

Code: Select all

; configuration file for yaP v0.7.1.6 (http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/)
; application name: Iperius Backup
; version: 7.8.2
; website: https://www.iperiusbackup.it/
; direct download 32 bit: https://www.iperiusbackup.it/software-backup-free.aspx

[GENERAL]
application = App\Iperius.exe :: App\IperiusX64.exe
; commandline =
; workdir =

[BEFORE]
regkey = HKLM\Software\Iperius Backup :: {YAPROOT}\App\settings\iperius.reg
->dir = {YAPROOT}\App\data\IperiusBackup :: %ProgramData%\IperiusBackup 
; dir = %Appdata%\Dir
; file = %Appdata%\Dir\File.ini

[AFTER]
<-dir = {YAPROOT}\App\data\IperiusBackup :: %ProgramData%\IperiusBackup :: move
; -dir = %Appdata%\Dir :: ifempty
; -file = %Appdata%\File*
.......
b.t.w.
The 'App' subfolder contains another two subfolders:
- \data\IperiusBackup (to handle the first launch)
- \settings

Remember: if You use 64 bit version of yaP launcher, You must rename the program in 'App' as IperiusX64.exe.

Tested version 7.9.6: portable (settings saved in app's folder), not stealth (no reg entries, but temp folders left behind).

Download page: https://www.iperiusbackup.com/software-backup-free.aspx

TPFC database entry: https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2503

Note: I voted because it is portable, but the free version lacks many features.
