Langmeier Backup 9.1: Update #172 fixes security vulnerability

Langmeier Backup 9.1.172: Enhanced Magnetic Tape Support and Critical Bug Fixes

The latest update, Langmeier Backup 9.1.172, addresses significant issues related to magnetic tape support. You can download the update here.

Resolved Issue: Writing Errors on Magnetic Tapes

Problem: In version 9.1.159 of Langmeier Backup, a bug caused the folder structure to be written at the beginning of the tape, rendering the data partition on the magnetic tape unusable. Earlier versions (including 9.1.133 and below) are not affected. As a result, tapes created with version 9.1.159 are unreadable. If data verification is enabled, the error message “Verification failed” appears for each backed-up file during the backup process.

Solution: If you are using Langmeier Backup 9.1.159 (Business, Server, or V-flex) to back up data to a magnetic tape drive, it is strongly recommended that you update to version 9.1.172 immediately. To further enhance the security of your backups, please ensure that data verification is enabled. To do so, press the F4 key in the main window, then activate the “Verify data backup” option in the “After backup” section of the “Settings for the current job” window.

Expanded Support: HP Ultrium LTO and Compatible Drives

Problem: In previous versions of Langmeier Backup (up to and including 9.0.133), the error message “This is not a tape created with Langmeier Backup” could occur. This was due to the inability to position the read/write head using the REWIND command, particularly with HP Ultrium LTO drives. In such cases, Langmeier Backup required an alternative method for head positioning.

Solution: To ensure compatibility with HP Ultrium LTO drives or other tape drives that do not support the REWIND command, please update Langmeier Backup to version 9.1.172. This update enables reliable reading of tapes created with version 9 or earlier.

Free Update: Users of Langmeier Backup 9 and 9.1, as well as customers with active maintenance contracts, are eligible to receive this update free of charge.
