Always send a text message

To send an SMS automatically after every backup, a few additional steps are necessary.

To do this, carry out the following steps:

1. Click on Tools
2. Click on Edit scripts
3. Select the empty entry in the Script list to create a new script.
4. Insert the following line into the script text field:
   

   SendSMS Term("The backup to is complete. Error: Backed up: ", Destination, Errors, Counter), "0049xxxxxxxxxxxx"

5. In the code line, replace the number in the xxxxxx with your own cell phone number.
6. Press Save as..., just below the script text field.
7. Give the script a meaningful file name, for example "SMS Sender".
8. Click on the Backup tab at the top.
9. Click on Add (by the down arrow) and select the entry Script... entry.
10. Select the previously saved script, in this case "SMS Sender" and click OK.
11. Then click on File -> Save task to apply the changes to the backup task.

If you add this script to a completed backup task in this way, an SMS will always be sent to you after the backup has been completed.

Credit for sending SMS messages

The SMS sending function requires SMS credit. You can order SMS credit at any time in your Langmeier software account. First you have to store your Langmeier backup license key in the Langmeier software account. You can store multiple Langmeier Backup license keys to use your SMS credit for multiple licenses.

To create the SMS script, the Langmeier Backup Business or Langmeier Backup Server version is required.
