Pfà ffikon SZ. August 24th, 2006  Our daily lives and routines increasingly dependon information stored on computer our hard drives: Contracts and contacts,appointments, e-mails, spread sheets, presentations and digital photos. A total orpartial loss of such information is equivalent to a major disaster for businessusers and increasingly, for home users too. The simple reason why such catastropheshappen is the lack of backups and if backups have been made they can be out of dateor faulty. The Swiss data security developer Langmeier said:  The launch of Backup3.2 puts special emphasis on making routine backups easier and avoiding backuperrors .
In cases of theft, fire or flooding insurance money will cover in most cases thepurchase of replacement equipment, though usually not the cost associated withrecovering the data. It is an often overlooked fact, that the data is much morevaluable than the PC or hard drive. A virus or a defect on the hard disk can quicklycause havoc. In that case, recent versions of files may have been affected andearlier backup versions are required. That is why it is so important to run backupson a regular basis with history and version tracking. According to  LangmeierBackup the software was developed with the objective to overcome barriers torunning backups by making the routine simpler and automatic, running in thebackground and avoiding interruptions in the work routine on the PC or network. Thebackups can also be stored to any location on the computer, the network whichWindows can recognize as a drive or to an ftp server over the internet, where theapplication can also apply 256Bit encryption. The backup data can be accessed atthese locations at any time, using a file path resembling the original, which makesthe backup files usable.
Any user who considers his or her data relevant should routinely run backups. Thelatest version 3.2 of Langmeier Backup has been launched on August 2nd, 2006. Withthis release the Swiss software developer gave the English language interface andservices a mayor overhaul. A trial version of Langmeier Backup Software is ready fordownload, providing an opportunity to test the ease of use and range of practicalfeatures, positioning this software high up the league of professional backupapplications. The Swiss founder Urs Langmeier said: Â It has never been as easy for abackup administrator to take care of the complete data backup security."
