SSD backup with Langmeier Backup
SSDs (Solid State Drives) are the new future of hard disks. Every year, SSDs are becoming more and more popular and are slowly replacing HDDs (hard disk drives). SSDs are being used more and more frequently, especially in laptops. The advantages and disadvantages of SSDs
Increase the service life of the SSDTemporary file accesses wear out an SSD quite a bit, as a large number of read and write operations are carried out here. It is therefore worth changing the temporary Windows folder as well as the temporary folder used by Langmeier Backup to a classic HDD disk (non-SSD). Change Windows temporary folderOne of the folders that is overwritten the most is the Windows temporary folder. Almost every installation, download, etc. uses this folder to store temporary files, which are often deleted automatically after use, but sometimes this has to be done manually afterwards. So if you have two hard disks in use, the SSD for Windows and an HDD for the data, then we recommend moving the temporary Windows folder to a partition on the HDD. Here you can read how to change the Windows temporary folder: How to change the Windows Temp folder Change temporary folder in Langmeier BackupLangmeier Backup also uses the Windows temporary folder in some cases, especially for compressed backups. The ZIP archives are first created on the temp folder and then moved to the backup target. However, Langmeier Backup 9.1 can work around this by allowing you to specify the temp folder that Langmeier Backup should use directly in Langmeier Backup. You can find the option here: Under "Options --> Global settings --> Expert settings --> Use own temporary path".
