Langmeier Backup is an Application that allows you to easily backup your data. Your data is saved and can be restored at any time. You can archive your data locally or on a remote server.
What are the supported Medias for your Backup?
You can do backups on many different medias. Langmeier Backup is predestined to backup your data on an external drive. Your local Hardware dealer can recommend a model for your needs.
Depending of the size of the data that you want to backup you can do the backup even on a Zip(R)-Drive or a Compact Flash Card. In the Manual only the external drive option is mentioned even though all functions are available for all backup medias.
Supported Drives and Data Medias
Langmeier Backup supports all Devices that are accessible form your Microsoft OS. If you want to backup to a CD or DVD, a further software component like DirectCD by Roxio or InCD by Nero is needed. Devices like tapes or streamers are not supported by this software.
Data can even be stored over a local or a VPN network, even wireless LAN is supported. In order to do so, just enter a UNC-Path as the source. For example: \\Server\??name of drive??. Alternatively, instead of entering a UNC-Path, you can use a network drive directly. In particular, you can do the backup on a remote backup server. Most FTP servers are supported.
Threats of a Data Loss
To choose the appropriate backup method you have to know the possible threats:
- Human failures and mistakes: You accidentally delete or change a file. After a certain period, you recognize your mistake and want to have access to your former files.
- Technical failure: A hard disk can crash and you lose all your data. Sometimes a recovery can rebuild your data, but often the data can be restored only partly.
- Act of Nature beyond Control: Lighting strokes fire or flooding.
