Simply great: Cloud Backup with centron S3 and Iperius Backup

Imagine this: You arrive at the office on Monday morning, grab a cup of coffee, and turn on your computer — only to discover your data is gone. Panic sets in, and your first call is to IT support.

Whether caused by hacker attacks, hardware failure, or human error — data loss can happen anytime. The result: downtime, lost revenue, and reputational damage. In many industries, regular backups are even required by law. That’s why secure, automated data protection should be part of every IT strategy.

What you can back up

With Iperius Backup and centron S3, you can back up:

  • Files and folders
  • Virtual machines (ESXi, Hyper-V)
  • Databases (SQL Server, MySQL)
  • Exchange mail servers

All backups are stored securely and automatically in your online S3 storage.

Step-by-step setup

1. Select files and folders

Add the folders you want to back up. You can also include email backups (e.g., Outlook) by selecting folders with .pst files.

2. Add other items

Under Items, include virtual machines, disk images, databases, or mail servers as needed.

3. Set up the destination

In the Destinations tab, enter centron Storage S3 as the target. You’ll need your access credentials from centron support.

4. Configure your S3 account

Click New Account and choose S3 as type. Enter the Service Point URL, username and password, enable SSL, and set signature version to 2. Save to confirm the connection.

5. Define backup parameters

Choose your bucket name, optional subfolder, backup type (full, differential, incremental) and number of copies to keep. You can also enable compression and AES 256-bit encryption for additional protection.

6. Schedule and automate

In the Schedule tab, define when backups should run — daily, weekly or custom. You can always start backups manually if needed.
