Iperius backup number of copies install#
Since I did not have the original Windows 8 install disc (my OS was an upgrade), and because recovery discs can’t be created in Windows 8.1, this was the end of the line for me. Recovery of disk images requires a Windows installation disc, or a recovery disc if you don’t have that. Iperius Backup supports creating disk images, which can be used to recover the computer to the exact state it was in when the backup was made.

You can also select what to do if identical filenames are encountered. Iperius supports restoring from password-protected ZIP files, if you chose to encrypt your backups. However, it worked well for this purpose. Essentially, all the restore tool did was extract the ZIP file to a folder of my choosing. I could only restore files from a ZIP file, or by manually copying files from the destination. I found the restore functionality of Iperius Backup to be lacking. Iperius supports incremental backups, which only copy changes since the last backup. It is then added to the main menu (in a list with all the other backup jobs I would later create).Īlthough one of my backups showed a warning, this was because the backup ran and no files were copied (because none had changed). Finally, I am asked to name my backup and give it a description. It also goes through many different options, such as scheduling the backup and setting up e-mail notifications. This guided me through the process of selecting files and folders to back up, and where to store them. From the main menu, there is a button to create a new backup job. Backing up my files with Iperius was fairly easy.
