Langmeier Backup FAQ
Don't lose any data, create an image backup now
If you want to make a backup of the complete Windows operating system, you need an image. An image is nothing more than a bit-perfect image of the hard drive. Fortunately, creating a Windows image backup is quite easy in Langmeier Backup.
Creating a Windows Image Backup
- Start the "Setup" wizard.
- Select "Add" and then "Hard Disk Image..."
- In the window that appears, select the drive where your operating system resides (of course, this is usually the C:\ drive).
- Press the ">> Next" button.
- If you wish, give the image another name than the one suggested, and now select "Finish".
- Your hard drive will now appear in the list of data to be backed up.
- Press ">> Next."
- Select "Local (e.g. to external hard drive, USB stick, etc...)", or "To Network" as the destination.
- Press ">> Next".
- Now click on the "Select..." button and select a destination folder here for the backup data.
- Press ">> Next."
- Select the options you want: for example, whether or not to encrypt the image.
- Under the "Expert Settings" button, you will find even more options, such as an email notification that you could receive after each backup.
- Click on ">> Next".
- Input a name for the backup in the text box, for example, "Backup Dell Computer".
- Click ">> Next".
- Click "Back up right now".
- Now click "Finish" and wait for the backup, or Create Windows Backup, to complete. Until the backup is complete, you can of course do other work on the computer (as long as you don't shut down the computer in the process).

I don't want to complicate anything. I don't want to develop the ultimate business software. I don't want to be listed in a top technology list. Because that's not what business applications are about. It's about making sure your data is seamlessly protected. And it's about making sure everything runs smoothly while you maintain full control and focus on growing your business. Simplicity and reliability are my guiding principles and inspire me every day.
