Features of Langmeier Backup Business

Most of the following features are available exclusively in the business version of Langmeier Backup. They enable professional backup solutions for your company.

Incremental backup

Langmeier Backup works in incremental backup mode by default. This means that all files are backed up the first time and then only the changed and newly added files are backed up. This minimizes storage requirements.

Langmeier Backup also adds the latest file to the full backup and saves the previous version separately with a time stamp so that the changed files do not have to be laboriously collected during the restore.

Differential backup

For a differential backup you use several backup disks. The first time you make a full backup, the following times you make a backup of the files that have changed or been added to a different data carrier. With Langmeier Backup you can map this system using two different backup jobs. The advantage of differential data backup is the reduced storage requirement and the fact that the partial backups are independent of each other and can therefore be deleted individually if necessary.

Which operating systems can be backed up with Langmeier Backup Business?

With Langmeier Backup Business you can back up the following operating systems especially for companies:

• Windows 10

• Windows 8 / Windows 8.1
• Windows 7

Backup logs via email and SMS

An important aspect of data backup is regular monitoring. You can set this up conveniently in Langmeier Backup. Have the logs sent to you by email, optionally only if errors have occurred during the backup. An SMS to your cell phone is also an option. It is even possible to have the log printed out automatically after the backup has been completed.

Encryption

Mit Langmeier Backup Business profitieren Sie von der Verschlüsselung doppelt. Denn wenn Sie eine Datensicherung in eine Cloud wie Microsoft SkyDrive oder Google Drive vornehmen, dann können Sie nicht nur die Backup-Dateien sondern auch die Übertragung selbst verschlüsseln. Niemand kann bei der Übertragung auf Ihre Daten zugreifen und auch in der Cloud besteht für Eindringlinge keine Möglichkeit, Ihre verschlüsselten Daten zu lesen.

If you encrypt the backup on a hard disk, you can use a secure (external) hard disk, as nobody can do anything with such a secure hard disk without the password for decryption. Use 256-bit encryption with a secure password and the encryption is definitely unbreakable.

Backup to zip archives

Use Langmeier Backup Business to create a data backup or an EDP backup copy in a standard ZIP archive. You can optionally encrypt the ZIP archive and add date variables to the file name.

Data compression

Back up to a ZIP archive with Langmeier Backup Business also for the reason of compressing your data. Do not waste storage space by storing the backup compressed at the destination.

How to back up to protected network folders

Backing up to password-protected network folders is also no problem with Langmeier Backup Business. You transfer the login information of the access-protected folders to Langmeier Backup when setting up the backup. Langmeier Backup then automatically logs into the folders or network folders and completes the backup job.

Customize your backup job with a VB script

Create VB scripts to implement advanced backup concepts customized to your company. This gives experienced administrators the opportunity to incorporate specific data backup requirements into the backup process. The backup can be connected to business applications via VB-Script and starts user-defined scripts - even before or after the data backup.

Why Langmeier Backup offers the right backup solutions for companies

What does Langmeier Backup offer that Microsoft's Windows 10 backup does not?

If you try to back up your system with the included Windows 10 backup, you will soon realize that Langmeier Backup has decisive advantages over many free backup solutions:

- We don't use a proprietary file format. When you back up individual folders and files, the files are saved openly and can be viewed and opened in the file directory.

- If you have encrypted the backup, you can extract the files with any ZIP software after entering the password. You do not need to open Langmeier Backup.

The only exception is the image backup, which is saved in a specific file format. Here Langmeier Backup offers you an elegant solution to read individual files from the system image if required.

Why is Langmeier Backup Business the right solution for companies?

At Langmeier Software, we pride ourselves on having easy-to-use software that can cope with the increasing complexity that companies face. We support all Windows operating systems that are suitable for companies, you can easily back up to the network or the cloud with us and backing up to tape is also easy and relaxed with Langmeier Backup.

How does Langmeier Backup establish trust with the company?

We earn the trust of our corporate customers through strong support that is there for you and can also help you with more complex issues by phone and email. Try out our support. We look forward to every technical challenge!

Special features of Langmeier Backup

Protection against ransomware

Unfortunately, it has been shown time and again that even companies are not immune to ransomware, despite all precautions. Ransomware encrypts the files on a computer and at the same time irretrievably deletes the unencrypted originals. In order to restore the encrypted data, a key is required that only the attackers know.

Langmeier Backup protects you directly against ransomware. Create an automatic data backup with our backup program. This runs automatically in the background as soon as it is set up. In addition, we recommend that you separate your backup media from your main system, except during the backup. To provide you with maximum protection, Langmeier Backup disconnects backup media as long as they are not being used by a backup.

After a ransomware attack, you can restore your system to the time of the last backup, change all passwords immediately for security and get back to work. Also read our tips against encryption Trojans.

Backup concept, backup strategy

Every company should have a backup concept and a backup strategy. This is because an ill-conceived backup job does not secure all relevant company data, which can have tragic consequences in an emergency.

Your backup concept should cover the following, among other things:

• What type of backup? Incremental backup, full backup, differential backup?
• Backup interval: Important data should be backed up at least once a day.
• Which data belongs in the backup and which does not?
• Where should the data backup be stored? Off-site (our recommendation), encrypted, etc.
• Regularly check the data backup: Who? How often?
• Backing up and restoring: A restore test should be carried out at regular intervals.
• Who is responsible for data backups? In smaller companies it is often the boss, in larger companies a data protection officer should be appointed.
  

Langmeier Backup Business will help you make a decision on the first two points by means of the settings to be made. The other five, however, must be determined by the company itself.

Do you work with an external IT consultant? If so, we recommend that you ask your consultant what the backup concept for your data looks like and make sure that there are clear responsibilities for backups.

Image or system image backup and restore

If you want to create a backup of the entire Windows operating system, you need an image. An image is nothing more than a bit-precise image of the hard disk. Langmeier Backup makes it easy to create a Windows image backup.

You are spoiled for choice when it comes to backup media

Data backup to external hard disks

When backing up to the external hard disk, you benefit from the large amount of data available, which makes a complete backup of a company's important data possible. If you consistently disconnect the hard disk from the system after the backup, you can restore the system from this clean source in the event of a virus attack or ransomware incident.

Make sure that you always make a second, redundant backup on another medium to take account of the fact that hard disks can fail from time to time. For this reason, do not use hard disks that are too old for a backup and do not use USB sticks as a backup medium - as these are often of inferior quality.

Data backup on RDX media

Like hard disks,RDX media offer a huge amount of available data. In addition, data carrier handling is simplified. However, the main advantage of RDX media compared to hard disks is that RDX media is physically separated after the backup. This prevents encryption Trojans from gaining access to the backup media.

NAS backup

NAS-Speicher sind zentrale Speicher-Server, die einen gemeinsamen Speicher für alle dem jeweiligen Rechnernetz zugehörenden Nutzer zur Verfügung stellen. NAS-Speicher haben sich als leistungsstarke und unkomplizierte Speichermedien für die Netzwerke kleiner Unternehmen sowie für private Netzwerke bewährt. Besonders vorteilhaft sind für KMU die Erweiterbarkeit eines NAS-Systems, ein schneller und nach Benutzerprofilen steuerbarer Zugriff auf einen gemeinsamen Datenbestand sowie ein wirksamer Schutz vor Datenverlusten durch redundante Datenspeicherung.

With Langmeier Backup you can easily perform a backup to a NAS and configure it in detail according to your requirements.

To protect the NAS from access by ransomware, please follow the tip to always protect all network shares with a user name and password.

Data backup via FTP

With Langmeier Backup you can also perform an FTP backup and optionally use a secure connection to the server, which can be activated independently of the data encryption by the Langmeier Backup software. The secure connection for data backup is established using SSL. This option is a good choice for a tap-proof backup under your full control.

Data backup to the Langmeier Backup online storage

Langmeier Backup also offers its users its own cloud storage. This storage is optimally matched to the Langmeier Backup backup software. The storage space is available in various sizes from 50 GB. The Langmeier Backup 365 subscription also includes 50 GB of cloud storage.

Cloud backup for companies?

Langmeier Backup supports cloud backup to various online services. However, this cannot replace local data backup, but is intended more as a supplement to local data backup. Use the possibilities of Langmeier Backup Business and encrypt the files after uploading.

Automatic backup

With Langmeier Backup you can perform a backup automatically even if no user is logged in. There are also semi-automatic options such as automatically starting a backup from the moment an external hard disk with a specific name is connected to the system.

Backing up open files and open databases

Programs such as databases or Microsoft Outlook lock some of their files during operation. This creates the problem that these files can never be backed up. However, regular data backups are essential.

Langmeier Backup can back up most open files if certain requirements are met. These can be easily configured in the software when creating the backup job. If you prefer to close the relevant program before the backup and restart it immediately after the backup, this is no problem with the use of an individualized VB script in the backup job.

How to use RAID for backup correctly

RAID means that instead of a single hard disk, you operate several similar hard disks in a network. There are RAID systems that store the files twice. However, the main reason for this is to increase the access speed to the data.

Why is RAID not a data backup without further measures?

Or to put it another way: what is the difference between RAID and data backup? The requirements for a backup are different! What if data is written incorrectly, a virus rages or there is a software error? Accidentally deleted files are not easy to restore in a RAID. Therefore, despite the RAID, you should never neglect regular backups. Only data backups can guarantee recovery in an emergency. This is because a properly set up backup prioritizes issues such as easy recoverability and data security, whereas RAID is primarily about speed.

How do you use RAID correctly for a data backup?

If you would like to use a RAID for your data backup, you can do so. However, the RAID should then be used as a separate unit from the main system. This is because it makes the most sense to separate original data from backup data.
