![]() ![]() The options and choices for how to do things can easily confuse someone not familiar with the program layout or how to navigate the software as there is such a huge selection of options to select from. This is extremely helpful to me allowing me to backup exactly what was missed due to errors CONSįor a new user not versed in how to use the software it can absolutely be a daunting experience. If there is an error the logs are very specific allowing you to tell exactly what file caused an issue or what errors the program encountered. It uses hardly any system resources even if left running 24/7 for real time backups. It has file compression, incremental backups, you can choose file revision history, incremental backups, full backups, and even have the program start another program as soon as a backup ends or right before it starts. (Advanced options) You can exclude or include system files with the click of a single button, you can easily change how detailed the logs are and very specific event triggers to notify you when something goes wrong, or even when it doesn't. Scheduling can be as detailed as you want but what really makes this program shine in my eyes are the options you get for how to handle backups. As far as destinations go, you can backup to the cloud, through ftp, a tape backup, a local disk or external drive with zero limitations. You aren't just stuck choosing to backup a local backup, but you have the options of backing up from FTP, disk cloning, esxi, hyper-v, Microsoft Exchange, and specifically tailored options for backing up an SQL server, or oracle systems. Iperius supports hot backup of any version and any configuration of VMware ESXi and includes the replication and the incremental and differential backup also of ESXi Free (CBT / VDDK). The fact that I can choose exactly where, when, how, etc I want to back things up is incredible. This software has literally everything you can ask for in a backup program. However, for VHDX files, which are not yet supported by all programs, Iperius is certainly the best choice to access their content.Backups exactly the way I want them every single time PROS ![]() One of these is 7zip, that can open a VHD file like a normal zip file, and extract its content. ![]() Since VHDs and VHDXs are open file formats, there are also other freeware software with which you can open a VHD and extract the files. Simply close this window to detach the VHDX file. With this function it’s possible either to explore folders by making double click on them either to export files and folders by simply making right-click -> “Extract”, the data can be restored and saved in any local path. It’s possible to select the Volume to explore, as shown in the image below, in order to view the content of the image backup (the Reserved Partition Volume cannot be opened). Attach and open a VHD or VHDX file using Iperius Free:Īs we said above, from this same window you can select and explore any VHD / VHDX file, simply by selecting it and clicking “Open”: These backups can be Drive Images created in Windows Image Backup mode (wbadmin) or created by Iperius Drive Image, or backup of Hyper-V virtual machines. Iperius will show the backups previously made and their dates. To be able to mount and explore a VHD or VHDX file, whether it is a drive image created by Iperius, a Hyper-V backup or simply an image file produced by another application, Iperius has a free and very simple function, as shown in the image below: This feature is included into Iperius as a simple restore mode for drive image backups and hyper-v backups (so you can recover individual files or folders), but it can also be used to attach and explore any VHD or VHDX file. See also: Drive Image and hard disk cloning (P2V) with Iperius Backup Iperius itself uses the VHDX format to create its own Drive Image backups and clone hard drives. VHD or VHDX files are a virtual disk format created by Microsoft (the VHDX is the more recent version, used today by all Windows systems), which is used to create image backups for example from Windows Server Backup, or for Hyper-V virtual machine disks. Iperius, besides being a complete backup software, which allows you to make Drive Images, backup of virtual machines and databases, is also a free software to mount and explore the content of VHD or VHDX files.
