General

What is IBackup?

IBackup is a reliable online backup and restore service. IBackup safeguards your critical data in case of system crash by automatically backing it up.

Customization options include the provision to modify your backup set and its schedule, reporting options and more. Data is transferred and stored using 256-bit AES encryption with a user-defined key that is not stored anywhere on the servers. This ensures data is safe and secure.

The graphical interface makes it easy to navigate through the application. Key features include bandwidth throttle, data compression and incremental backups that ensure fast backups, restore of previous versions of files, archive cleanup and open/locked file and mapped drive backup among others.

You can backup data from multiple computers to a single IBackup account. Download the application.

Does IBackup use Delta Blocking technology?

Yes. IBackup uses Delta Blocking technology during data transfer. Delta blocking is an advanced logic that divides all files into equal sized blocks. When a file is detected for changes, the checksum of each block of that file is compared with the checksum for the same block of the same file. Any blocks that are found to be different are pulled out and transmitted. These delta blocks are compressed and encrypted before transfer.

Does IBackup support my native character set?

Yes. IBackup supports character sets of most major languages like English, French, Spanish, German, Hebrew, Italian etc.

How to install IBackup silently from command line?

Use the below command to install the IBackup application silently.

Command: 'IBackupsetup.exe' /verysilent /noicons /suppressmsgboxes /DIR= <DIRECTORY PATH> /nocloseapplications

Example: 'IBackupsetup.exe' /verysilent /noicons /suppressmsgboxes /DIR=”C:ProgramFilesIBackupWindows” /nocloseapplications

Quota

If I keep on performing backups, will I use up my quota quickly?

IBackup does incremental backup (only the modified portion of your files/folders are sent to the IBackup servers). Your quota depends on the most recent file/folder copy backed up to your online account. The previous 10 versions of files are stored free.

I received a quota overuse email. What should I do?

You may opt to upgrade your account to accommodate the extra storage or remove some data from your account to bring it in line with your current quota. To upgrade your account, log into IBackup desktop application and click 'Upgrade'.

Alternately, select the files/folders that you want to delete and click the icon.

Note: IBackup provides on demand storage for paid accounts with an additional charge of $2/GB.

I have deleted some unwanted files/folders from my IBackup account. However, total storage space used display does not change. How do I know the exact quota used?

The total storage space used information is not displayed in real-time. It is computed on a periodical basis. For updated information, click the quota display area (refer image), the quota used will be recalculated. For accounts with large number of files, the process may take time.

Backup

How do I take an immediate backup of my files?

To perform an immediate backup, select the desired files/folders/drives, under the Backup tab and click the 'Start Backup Immediately' button.

How can I take an immediate backup without signing into the application?

Right-click the 'IBackup Tray' icon and select 'Scheduler' > 'Manage all scheduled jobs'. In the Manage all Scheduled Jobs screen, select the 'Start the backup immediately' check box. Click ‘Save Changes’. This will immediately execute backups for the backup set, provided you have created one and logged into the application at least once before.

What is incremental backup?

By default, the IBackup application transfers only the modified portions of your backed up files after full initial backup. This optimizes your bandwidth usage and ensures that backups are quick.

How do I schedule my backup?

To schedule a backup, log into IBackup desktop application and click the 'Scheduler' tab.

You can schedule your backup start time. Select your desired day(s) of backup in a week or schedule it on a daily basis. The screen contains the following options:

Start the missed scheduled backup when the computer is turned on: If you select this option, your missed scheduled backups will start automatically once you turn on your computer.

Does IBackup perform scheduled backups in Standby mode?

No. This is because the remote access connections are disconnected without any prompt to disconnect manually before the computer goes into the Standby mode. This applies to any remote access connection including connections to Internet service providers (ISPs) and private networks. This is a default behavior in windows.

How do I create multiple backup sets?

You can create as many backup sets as needed. To create a backup set, click the ‘Backup’ tab, and then ‘Backup sets’ button. Click the icon, enter name of the new backup set in the ‘Create new backup set’ window, and click ‘Save’.

You can find the newly added backup set in the list of available backup sets.

How do I schedule different backup sets?

You can set a different schedule for every backup set, as per your convenience. To schedule a particular backup set, click the ‘Scheduler’ tab, select a backup set from the Backup set name drop-down list, and corresponding to it, select the following scheduler parameters as needed. Click 'Save Changes'.

• Backup start time: Set the time at which your scheduled backup should start.
• Backup set name: Select the backup set you need to schedule ('DefaultBackupSet/LocalBackupset').
• Daily Schedule: To run your backup jobs daily, select this option.

The schedules of multiple backup sets can overlap each other; the schedule overlap does not affect the backup process.

How do I view the status of my scheduled backups?

You can view the status of your scheduled backups using the Status option in the IBackup Tray. You can also view the recent session-wise log files by clicking the 'View Logs' in the application.

Can I use IBackup to schedule full and incremental backups on specific days?

IBackup does not have the conventional concept of full and incremental backups. Every backup is basically a full backup with incremental effect.

Unlike the conventional concept of incremental backups where only the changed data is stored separately from full backup with IBackup, the changed data is overwritten on the existing backup. In other words, you have full backup results every time.

IBackup uses the advanced patching technology to determine the changed data at source and applies only modified blocks of the changed files on to the data that has been backed up.

Can I view the report of all my schedule backups?

Yes, log into IBackup.com and click your username at the top-right corner. Then click ‘Desktop Backup Report’ under Reports. It summarizes the status of the scheduled backups for your IBackup account. By default, a report for the last seven days is displayed.

Is it possible to view all the scheduled backup/restore jobs of all my IBackup accounts on my computer?

Yes. Right-click the 'IBackup Tray' icon and go to 'Scheduler' > 'Manage all Scheduled Jobs'. The scheduled backup/restore jobs of all IBackup accounts on the local computer are listed.

I had enabled the Relative Path for backup, but now I am unable to change it. How do I change the settings?

• After installation, you will have to login or create a new account.
• On successful login, IBackup creates a default backup set including important folders from your computer.
• Click the 'Start Backup Immediately' button to start the backup.
• By default, IBackup creates a unique folder with the name of the computer to backup data from multiple computers into a single IBackup account. This prevents data overlap during multiple computer backup.

If I am backing up data from multiple computers, do I need to change the backup location?

No, you do not have to change the backup location as IBackup by default creates a unique folder with the computer name, to prevent data overlap if you are backing up data from multiple computers.

However, if the computer names are same, we recommend you to use the Backup location feature to change the default backup location, to prevent data overlap.

How do I change the default backup location?

Note: The percentage set for Bandwidth Throttle is applicable for both scheduled and interactive backups.

Can I change my IBackup password while in the middle of a scheduled backup?

Changing your account password during backup is not recommended as this will result in transfer errors. If you change your password, ensure that you logout from the application and log in with the new password and then reschedule your backups.

Can IBackup work with virtual machines?

Yes, IBackup works with virtual machines. For this, install the application on virtual machines and perform the backup as usual.

Mapped drive and open file backup

Does IBackup support backup of mapped drives?

Yes. IBackup supports mapped drive backup on Windows systems, provided the computer is not logged off.

Can I backup open files with IBackup?

Yes, you can backup open files using the Open file Backup feature of IBackup on Windows 7, Vista, XP and Windows 2003 and 2008 servers. The most common open files that can be backed up include Outlook files (.pst), QuickBooks, Quicken, ACT, MS-Money, MS-Word, MS-Excel, MS-Access, MS FoxPro etc.

By default the Open file Backup feature is enabled. Ensure that the selected temporary location on the local computer for Open file Backup has sufficient free space to store the open files during backup.

If all my file system partitions are on FAT32, can I backup my open files?

No. Open file backups require at least one drive to be mounted on the New Technology File System (NTFS) file system partition. Also, the file system of at least one of the hard disk drives should be NTFS. (NTFS is one of the file systems the Windows NT operating system uses for storing and retrieving files on a hard disk).

Can I backup the MS Exchange Server and MS SQL Server related files using the open file backup feature?

Yes. However, it is recommended that you use the specific MS Exchange/MS SQL backup feature that is available with IBackup for consistent backup of your MS Exchange or MS SQL Server related files.

No. The Open file Backup feature does not support backup of open files on the mapped/network drive(s).

Can I backup Mapped / USB / External drives?

Yes, you can backup Mapped / USB / External Drives. The contents to be backed up must be a part of the Backup set and available at the time of backup.

Continuous Data Protection

What is Continuous Data Protection (CDP)?

The Continuous Data Protection (CDP) feature automatically recognizes the changes made to the files (up to 500 MB in size) in the default backup set and backs them up in real-time.

CDP is executed only for smaller files as frequently modified data tends to be small. Also, it avoids slowing down your machine while you work on it. Large files (e.g. Outlook files) are backed up during the scheduled backup.

The temporary files, system files and mapped drives are excluded from the operation. CDP is not a replacement for the traditional schedule backup feature but works along with the scheduled backup to provide timely protection for your data.

Can I set the frequency of backups under Continuous Data Protection feature?

Yes, if you wish to customize the frequency of backups, go to the Continuous Data Protection feature, located in the Settings tab. Set any duration as preferred (Real-time, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 60 minutes).

What are the advantages of Continuous Data Protection?

Continues Data Protection has the following advantages:

• It prevents loss of data as the modified contents of the files are backed up automatically in real-time.
• You can accurately restore upto 10 recent versions of all backed up files in your account.

Not all modified files in my default backup set were backed up. Why?

There are some default rules including size that decide the files that will be considered for the Continuous Data Protection operation. To minimize the impact of CDP on your normal PC functions at regular hours, the operation is executed only for files less than 500 MB. This usually covers most office and other documents that you work on during the day. The remaining files (in the default backup set) are considered during the normal Scheduled/Interactive backups. Temporary files, system files and mapped drives are excluded from the Continuous Data Protection operation. The scheduled backup is indispensable to ensure complete data backup.

Will the scheduled backups occur even when the Continuous Data Protection feature is enabled?

Yes. The Continuous Data Protection feature is designed to backup files less than 500 MB in real-time. It is not a replacement for the schedule backup operation - which backs up all the files in your backup set and takes place even if you have enabled Continuous Data Protection.

The Continuous Data Protection will stop during the scheduled backup and resume once the scheduled job is complete.

Versioning

How many prior versions of a file are stored in my account?

The IBackup application maintains the history of changes made to all the backed up files. The recent 10 versions of a file are available for restore.

The app immediately scans its contents and shows device information, namely the name, phone number, model, iOS version, mobile IMEI, serial number, device unique ID, date of creation, along with the iTunes version.

View and extract files

All files included in the backup are neatly organized in different categories. Therefore, you can separately view contacts, the call history, messages, notes, voice memos, Internet-related files, photos, apps, and raw data.

It is also possible to perform some operations, like saving messages, call logs or notes to the local disk. Advanced users have the possibility to review technical details related to their apps.

Ibackup Viewer Pro Serial Key

iBackup Viewer enables you to modify the default backup location, stop showing messages in the iOS 7 style, as well as set the tool to overwrite, rename or skip files with existing names when saving them from the iPhone backup to the disk.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the software utility did not hang, crash or pop up errors. It has a good response time and leaves a small footprint on system resources, thanks to the fact that it consumes low CPU and RAM.

To sum it up, iBackup Viewer provides users with a fast and reliable solution to viewing and extracting files from iPhone backups to save them locally. However, the price of the full package seems too high.
