Thank you Ashraf and IvyBackup for the opportunity!

I wanted to ask, where this software mentions “Image backup” it means photo’s right? Images, not a complete image backup of your entire hard drive right?

Thanks again.

I have seen a review that says con:– No encryption for backups.
But on the site i see Backup Encryption :Create encrypted backups with industry standard 256-Bit AES encryption.
The problem is one version is from a reviewer who ( i assumed ) have tried the program and the other from the makers / developers of the program .
Did the reviewer miss it or got it wrong ?
Anyone else have something to add that might clear things up a bit ? i have not yet tried the program .

Hi Joey,

The standard edition includes support for encryption. There must be an error in the description here.
We’ll look into it.

When I try to activate the license key, there is no place to enter the required information. The unlock screen pops up but no where from that point.

For the stated $24.95 price, this must be the “Standard” version. Check out this page for more detail on the features and a comparison of the different versions. “Standard” looks pretty good. It does offer encryption, differential backups, backup testing, and backups to local storage (I have too much to send it all to a cloud service). There are no “event-based” backups (fine by me, I can’t imagine why I would want a backup to start as soon as I turn on my PC or wake it up, that’s when I want to USE it). “Standard” also allows program to start with Windows. Not sure I want that either, I would rather manually start a backup when I know it’s needed and I don’t need my PC for anything time-critical for a while.

I already use Macrium Reflect for backups (the free version works well) and it lets me create a partition image, restore a whole partition or single files and do differential backups at the partition level. It has a high but do-able learning curve — IvyBackup might be easier to get started. IvyBackup seems well thought-out and can do backups to several cloud services, like DropBox and OneDrive (I use Zoolz for cloud backups of my most critical files). IvyBackup looks good if you need a backup program. If you don’t have one, you need one!

I obtained IvyBackup via Sharewareonsale; received confirming email with name and license key; installed and activated within the allowed time frame; received confirmation of activation; closed and restarted as per directions; MOT ACTIVATED. Repeat process: NOT ACTIVATE. While I appreciate the free offer, I have little patience for the free accompanying headaches. While I appreciate that my OS (Win10 Pro x64) may not enjoy the exact configuration as everyone else, I do not expect software to be so finite in its application that it cannot be universally applied. However, on a positive note, I was able to effortlessly remove IvyBackup from my system using Revo.

Αχρηστο προγραμμα και δεν μπορει να ενεργοποιηθει με το κλειδι που δινουν από το sharewareonsale διαρκώς βγαζει unregister version οι δυνατότητες που εχει ειναι για λύπηση ΑΧΡΗΣΤΟ
Ελπίζω να βγεί σωστα !!!
