Langmeier Backup FAQ

Where does Langmeier Backup store its data?

If you have ever wondered where Langmeier Backup actually stores its data such as settings and backup jobs, you will find the relevant information here. Please note that these folders are usually hidden, i.e. you must first make them visible. Or enter the correct folder path directly in the address bar of Windows Explorer - this will also make the folder contents visible.

The backup tasks are stored here by default:

C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Langmeier Software\Backup

The planning tasks are stored in this file:

C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Langmeier Software\atb3.dta

Langmeier Backup saves certain settings in the registry, the key for this is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Langmeier Software\Langmeier Backup

Note: If you want to uninstall Langmeier Backup and then reinstall it, the settings should be exported from the registry and imported back into the registry after reinstallation. To do this, use the registry editor"regedit.exe" (click on "Start" and enter "regedit"). The backup jobs (which contain, among other things, what is backed up and where) remain saved even after uninstallation.

When operated as a Windows service

If Langmeier Backup is operated as a Windows service, everything is stored in a different location because the settings apply globally for all Windows users and are not only valid for a single user as above.

The backup tasks are located under:

C:\ProgramData\Langmeier Software\Backup

The planning tasks are then stored here:

C:\ProgramData\Langmeier Software\atb3.dta

Data in the Windows registry is then located under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Langmeier Software\Langmeier Backup

On 64-bit Windows systems, this registry path is located in a slightly different location, namely under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Langmeier Software\Langmeier Backup

Note: To read this path in the registry, you may need elevated Windows permissions.

Programmed scripts

Any VB scripts programmed for Langmeier Backup are always located under:
