IBM Cloud Backup vs. Iperius Backup

If you are in an industry where you value data, whether customer data, business data or any other type of data that keeps your business running, then you will definitely benefit from IBM Cloud Backup. It is easy, affordable, and offers [the] best security features for your data. Backing up and recovery are easy.

Iperius Backup is a very simple and cheap but absolutely effective solution for small infrastructures. You can use it both on Windows clients and servers, it can integrate with ESXi, MySQL, MSSQL, etc. I think the best way to use it is with their cloud space (Iperius Cloud Storage) that allows you to take care effortlessly of your small customers' data. When it comes to more complex infrastructures, I prefer relying on something different (Nakivo Backup and Replication, Promox Backup Server).

The company used several free solutions (e.g. Cobian Backup et al.) but they were outdated and there was no standardization, nor a simple way to monitor all the backup jobs. Iperius had all the key features needed for the task and the project is very much alive (regular new releases).
