Langmeier Backup is the network winner

Langmeier Backup 8 Advanced received an outstanding rating in this comparison. The editorial team at Netzsieger awarded the Swiss company’s software 4.65 out of 5 points, highlighting its impressive performance and feature set.

The software convinced testers with its comprehensive functionality. Users can create both file-based backups and complete disk images during operation—not only for PCs, but also for physical and virtual servers. This flexibility makes Langmeier Backup especially attractive for freelancers and businesses of all sizes. In addition to full system backups, the software allows you to back up individual files or emails, organize them chronologically, and protect them with a password—a feature rarely found in backup programs. Supported storage media include hard drives, USB devices, CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and network locations. If you back up to a bootable medium, you can restore your computer easily, even in the event of a hard drive or operating system failure.

The testers also praised the seamless compatibility of Langmeier Backup 8 Advanced with Microsoft’s latest operating systems, including Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, while also ensuring backward compatibility down to Windows XP. Netzsieger confirmed the software’s robust performance: backups are created efficiently in the background, without noticeably impacting your workflow or causing slowdowns in graphics or loading times.

Langmeier Backup received high praise for its intuitive user interface.

User-friendliness is another area where Langmeier Backup excels. The interface is so clearly structured that even beginners can create their first backup with ease. Files to be backed up are simply selected with a checkbox in the menu. Additional features—such as backing up emails, libraries, or browser favorites—are easily accessible through intuitive navigation. Fully automated backups can be scheduled, and the precise execution of these tasks impressed the Netzsieger testers. If desired, users can receive backup logs via email and check for errors. Another useful feature is the clean-up function, which helps you manage and remove outdated backups efficiently.

Support via email or the user forum is also rated positively. The only minor drawback noted by the testers is that telephone support is available for a fee.

In summary, Netzsieger describes Langmeier Backup 8 Advanced as an all-in-one, worry-free backup solution for private users.
