How do I copy entire discs, along with its subdirectories, except some subdirectories?
You can add the “C:\” disk as source folder to back up, then you can exclude individual subfolders in the item settings.
If instead you need to make a drive image backup (for bare metal recovery), you cannot exclude specific folders.
I have just downloaded the free version but I can not see that I can incorporate the time and date in the backup filename, or am I missing something?
OK, been fiddling and found it by right clicking on the destination folder and selecting Edit.
Nice program that works well.
When starting a backup task downloading from an SFTP server, I get the following error:
Access violation at address 008F3E83 in module ‘Iperius.exe’. The server comnnects OK, and the folder list is visible when selecting the directories to download. Pity, the program seems to contain all options I need
Hi, please update Iperius to the latest version (you can also use the AutoUpdate function in the Tools menu). The problem has been fixed.
Hi, currently i use a standalone LTO tape backup, how do i set the differential backup by date and full backup.. Because right now iperius only copy the latest file and the other file are skipped
You cannot set a differential backup manually based on full backup and date.
Iperius automaticall ychecks the full backup and make the differential backup, but it must be made on a different cartridge.
Hello
Can Exchange be backed up and copied back ?
Yes, but only full backups, as part of a drive image backup, or copying individual database files using VSS.
Hi,
Is there a way to backup a folders with its sub-folders as zip?
I am trying to backup folder A as a zip, respecting its sub-folders structure, but I end up with a folderA.zip and inside, all the files messed up, whithout any sub-folder.
If I dont select the “Activate compression” option, the subfolder structure remains as it should.
Do you mean the software put all files without folders inside the zip file?
Did you try to create a new job with default settings? Please check you didn’t use the option to copy files into zip without folders.
Yes, the software puts all files without folders inside the zip file.
I have tried with many jobs, with:
Activate zip compression
Paths in zip file:
“Full path” & Full path including drive (recommended)
Problem solved, it was Winzip that shows all files without folders, with Winrar no problems.
Thanks for your time.
Thank you for adding this clarification.

Hi,
I used Iperius BackUp for 1 year, but now my external backup storage (8 TB) is full.
How can I limit the BackUp on files which were changed this year, and exlude all files from previous years?
Hello, by default, you you set a number of copies and you didn’t use special variables to create custom folder with a date in its name, Iperius automatically overwrites old backups. Otherwise, you need to remove them manually, or with a script.

Hi,
Can you tell me the file size limits for the backup? I.E. Can I backup, say, 400GB to zip files?
Or, put another way, is the product designed to backup huge amounts of data in a single backup job?
Many Thanks,
Tim.
What backup type? Please contact us from this page: http://www.iperiusbackup.com/contact.aspx
Hello, I installed the Trial version and activated the full version for Exchange Server 2016 backup tests with the option to export all the PSTs.
I did the procedures indicated in the link (https://www.iperiusbackup.net/en/configure-exchange-permissions-backup-export-restore-mailboxes/) but I noticed two problems:
1) The list of emails that he shows is not complete (he followed them down to the letter G)
2) when starting the backup the application terminates “Iperius backup stopped working” in the third phase: “Server: xxx.xxxxxxx.com.br/Configuration/Sites/Defau …”

Hi,
I use the program on my PC, works well.
But on some PC (or server) next is happening:
All backup copy all files, even, when not modified. This is very slow.
Settings:
Backup type: First create a full backup, then update ut with new or modified files
Number of copies:1
What could be the reason for that?
Many Thanks!
Jozsef
Perhaps you specified the creation of a custom folder with a special variable for the date. So every time the program creates a new folder and a new full backup.

I’m testing the free version 6.3.1 of Iperius backup, which stopped with these messages in the log. Restarting the backup returns the same result. The error messages don’t tell anything useful (to me) what is causing the problem, or what these addresses mean:
