Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

Iperius Backup uses a feature-based, perpetual licensing model, meaning you pay once per license with optional maintenance, rather than recurring per-backup or per-usage fees. How pricing works: Perpetual licenses (one-time purchase): Licenses are purchased once and remain valid indefinitely for the covered features. There are no mandatory subscriptions to keep using the software. Edition-based pricing by functionality: Pricing depends on the edition you choose, which is determined by the workloads and features you need (e.g. disk imaging, server backup, virtual machines, databases, Microsoft 365). No limits on backup jobs or restore operations: Each license allows unlimited backup tasks and restores for the supported features, with no hidden costs. Optional maintenance and updates: Software updates and technical support are included for the first year. Maintenance renewal is optional and required only if you want future updates and support. What buyers should know: Highly cost-effective for businesses and MSPs: Since licensing is not based on data volume or number of backup jobs, costs remain predictable as your environment grows. Flexible deployment: Licenses are typically tied to the machine being protected (server or workstation), making it easy to plan and scale deployments. Broad destination support included: Backups can be stored to local disks, NAS, RDX, tape libraries, FTP/SFTP servers, and cloud services such as Amazon S3, Azure Storage, Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox (depending on edition). Works with optional add-ons: Additional components such as Iperius Console (for centralized monitoring) or Iperius Storage (cloud storage) are purchased separately, allowing you to build a solution that fits your needs.
