Langmeier Backup is the network winner

Langmeier Backup 8 Advanced received an excellent rating. The Netzsieger editorial team awarded the Swiss company's software 4.65 points out of a possible 5.

Numerous features convinced the testers of the program's quality. For example, the user can create file backups or images of the data medium during operation, not only of the PC, but also of physical or virtual servers. This option makes Langmeier Backup particularly interesting for freelancers or companies of all sizes. However, not only complete drives including the operating system, but also individual files or e-mails can be backed up, organized chronologically and protected with a password. This is a feature that only a few backup programs offer. Hard disks, USB storage devices, CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray or the network can be used as storage media. If backed up on a bootable medium, the computer can be easily restored even if the hard disk or operating system fails.

The testers were also pleased with the smooth cooperation of Langmeier Backup 8 Advanced with Microsoft's latest operating systems Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, but backward compatibility up to Windows XP is also guaranteed. Netzsieger confirmed that the software has rock-solid performance values, the backups are created in a reasonable period of time and run in the background. The user's actual work is not affected by noticeably longer loading times or jerky graphics.

Langmeier Backup received high praise for its intuitive user interface.

The testers also praised the user-friendliness of the software. The intuitive user interface is so clearly laid out that even inexperienced users can create their first backup without difficulty. The files to be backed up are simply marked with a tick in the menu. Various other features, such as backing up emails, libraries or browser favorites, can also be easily found by navigating through the menus. Fully automated backups are carried out quickly with the help of a schedule, and Netzfinder's testers were impressed by the exact execution. If desired, the user can have a log sent to them and check the backup for errors. Another positive extra is the clean-up function, which can be used to clean up old backups.

The support by e-mail or in the support forum is also rated positively. The testers only consider the fee-based telephone support to be a minor drawback.

In conclusion, Netzsieger rates Langmeier Backup 8 Advanced as an all-round carefree backup package for private users.
