Flawless data backup thanks to SMS notification

Stay Informed: Receive Your Data Backup Status via SMS

With Langmeier Backup 8.1, you can receive real-time notifications about your backup status directly on your mobile phone. As soon as a backup is complete, the software can automatically send you a text message (SMS) to keep you updated—no matter where you are.

To test this feature, simply start a backup and click the “After” button. A menu will appear; select “Send SMS...” to proceed.

Langmeier Backup 8.1 allows you to send SMS notifications to your mobile phone once a backup is complete. This tutorial explains how to set up automatic SMS notifications.

  1. Click on Tools.
  2. Select Edit scripts.
  3. In the Script list, choose the empty entry to create a new script.
  4. Paste the following line into the script text field:
    SendSMS Term("The backup to is complete. Error: Backed up: ", Destination, Errors, Counter), "0049xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  5. Replace xxxxxxxxxxxx in the phone number with your own mobile number.
  6. Click Save as... just below the script text field.
  7. Assign a meaningful file name to the script, such as “SMS Sender”.
  8. Go to the Backup tab at the top.
  9. Click Add (using the down arrow) and select Script....
  10. Choose the script you just saved (e.g., “SMS Sender”) and click OK.
  11. Finally, click File → Save task to apply the changes to your backup task.

By adding this script to your backup task, you will automatically receive an SMS notification every time a backup is completed.

SMS Credit Requirements

Please note that sending SMS notifications requires SMS credit. You can purchase SMS credit at any time through your Langmeier Software account. Before doing so, ensure that your Langmeier Backup license key is registered in your account. You may store multiple license keys to use your SMS credit across several licenses.

To create and use the SMS script, you will need either the Langmeier Backup Business or Langmeier Backup Server version.
