Hopefully in the future they will add support for more providers, especially Apple's iCloud, Amazon's cloud services, and Microsoft OneDrive. > > IT professionals get constantly pestered with people crying over lost data. First thing we ask: "did you back it up?" Then we shake our head as the person invariably says "no." Then it is our turn to shake our heads and say "Sorry." Backing up your data should be as much a part of your routine as taking a shower or walking the dog. If your data - those pictures, your tax returns and other important documents, that video of your child's first birthday party, important business records, all the stuff you have on your computer - is important to you at all, that is. And it doesn't have to be a chore, or some complicated process that requires help. That's where IvyBackup comes in. IvyBackup demystifies and simplifies the process of backing up your data, so you can preserve those precious memories and important files. Setting up the software is quick and painless, your grandmother could do it, but then where it really shines is in how it automates everything going forward. In the setup you are given easy-to-understand choices for how to back up your data, including an option that will start the process automatically whenever you plug in an external hard drive. Then that's it, IvyBackup takes over and quickly preserves your files for you. They even offer a 30 day free trial, so go ahead and try the software out since you have nothing to lose, then next time your computer crashes, you will lose nothing\! ----- ### "since I have used ivy back I could never go back, I extensively rely on it to backup all my files." — 5.0/5 > **Emad** | *March 5, 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being a web developer and as essential part of my job to use and handle lots of important data files of all formats for my work, having a backup utility is a must for me to keep track of my files and keep them safe from any accidents (either it be a data loss because of hardware failure or unintentional delete or virus infection/ cyber breach of my machine) it may happen, and also have them stored. There are lots of useful features I found in ivy backup that make me pick up to be my number one backup utility, here I could list a few of them : 1- the program is very intuitive, user friendly and easy to use, have very minimal and easy options for navigation and control and anyone can handle it fairly easily even if you are not an advanced user. 2- One of the most important features I have found and that make this program stands out amongst all other competitors, is the ability to backup for certain files that you choose with different options to control, modify or browse your backups list. 3- It has a minimal size and doesn't consume too much of your processor or RAM or bandwidth, so it won't crumble your PC performance or make it freeze or stuck like other heavy programs for backups. 4- Backup and restoring files are very easy and comfortable process with the amazing feature stocked to the program that keep checking the integrity of your data during both processes to make sure all your files are clean and intact. > > Being a web developer and as essential part of my job to use and handle lots of important data files of all formats for my work, having a backup utility is a must for me to keep track of my files and keep them safe from any accidents (either it be a data loss because of hardware failure or unintentional delete or virus infection/ cyber breach of my machine) it may happen, and also have them stored on a cloud to have them at my fingertips to download and use anywhere and anytime. I have been using lots of different backup solutions before and I had found the ivy backup by chance as part of promotional offer, but since I have used it I could never turn back, and it's the only solution to back up the important files that I totally depend on now. ----- ### "Extremely frustrating\! It just doesn't do what it should - so I'm getting rid of it." — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *March 3, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The description of what it should do is enticing. As a Backup system, it ought to be reasonably straightforward. > > **Cons**: Sadly, for me it doesn't do what it sets out to do\! I wanted to Backup my m.2 C:\\ drive. In the first instance, it threw that New Job out because it couldn't gain access to a couple of seemingly random folders. Attempting to correct this by setting up Filters to prevent those specific Folders from being copied, the program appears not to take any notice, and continues to repeat the same message\! Worse still if you go back in and try to fix the filter, it duplicates some of those entries\! But it still won't bypass the nominated Folders It won't just copy what it can, but refuses to run the job at all - even when told to ignore those particular folders\! Also, the Help file for the program doesn't seem to correspond with the current version of the software, and the simplest "How to get started" is misleading (to me, anyway\!) ----- ### "Forget about Backup" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *September 6, 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: it is a great tool that has made me to forget to backup as we can schedule it to backup at the system stats or we can schedule it as per our required requirement.it is very easy to use . it requires a little training to operate (perhaps for first time only).we can backup as per required like full , incremental backup is needed.it is secured to backup with this as it keep the backup in encrypted format.it backup the system and put it on cloud. > > **Cons**: A New theme is required for the front end ,apart from it i should say all is very good with this .No Dislike > > its a great tool that have a very very reasonable price and is very simple to use. ----- ### "Great GUI Backup Client for Automated Backup Jobs" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *August 29, 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to systematically set up all of your backups, move them to the cloud and schedule them, based upon system trigger events. You can schedule the program to run on system start-up or wake from power/hibernate. They are secured with 256-Bit encryption, so you know they are protected. > > **Cons**: The choice of logo style does not fit the push for material design seen in most software design programs. > > Great program and fair upgrade process, that has allowed me to stay current and keep my files ecured. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047206/ivybackup-1?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2047206/ivybackup-1) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
