I am a newbe. I used to use Macrium Reflect - It was easy - just image a drive and then upload incremental changes.
I just want to know if I have to do all three procedures to back up a drive

1. system restore backup
2. disk partition backup
3. file backup

If this is the case - which one should i post incremental changes too?

There are plenty of Youtube videos showing you HOW but none to tell you which are necessary.
Thanks -- - - I really need to back up my stuff

I was under the impression that this option allowed HBS to continue with scheduled tasks whenever an unscheduled change occurred within the System Backup partition set... essentially allowing HBS to continue automatically whenever the infamous Windows update/upgrade occurs, changing the geometry of both the Recovery Partition and the shrinking of the OS partition to accommodate that change.

I just manually shrunk the OS partition (in preparation for configuring a TRIPLE BOOT System) and tested the above assumption and wound up with the following error...  Specified partition not found (0x25CC003600000001)...  the option appears to fail.

I guess my question is... does this option only take effect prior to a new task being created or does it affect existing tasks prior to setting the option?

Thanks for your help with this!

Edit: just realized this was done under v5.9.0.0alpha as well as some serious restore issues using same Emergency Media.  Will return to v5.8.2.1 and retest.

Want to setup forum access on second computer but have lost password - warning to all, a password safe doesn't help if it doesn't get the info placed in it.

Put in my username, CAPTCHA is happy, click on Retrieve or Lost Password.
Window comes up asking for my email which I put in and then click the Credentials... button.
Always comes back with a CAPTCHA error.

Obviously, something not right somewhere along the line.

It also seems that if I wasn't already logged in to the forum on a different computer, I could not submit this question since you have to login to make a post.

Hi, 
I just installed the latest version of Hasleo Backup Suite (abandonning the last free version of Macrium Reflect, a step envisaged since some time and finally triggered by the psmounterex.sys driver issue).
After the first successful backup, I then tried to add a boot menu, but got the following error: "Failure to use a system API (0x00A0001500000005)"
Not sure whether the issue stems from the Hasleo software or from Windows 11 (latest version 26200.8655). I run Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, unistalled Hasleo Backup Suite and reinstalled it, but the error came back.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Roger

Today I was successfully able to salvage my 2019 Dell XPS 8930 SE, which was destined to lose Secure Boot status because the 2011 Secure Boot Certificates are expiring at the end of the month.  Dell refused to provide a solution to update the Certificates for any of its computers sold more than five years ago.

I therefore had to learn how to manually add the necessary 2023 Secure Boot Certificates to the BIOS.  I was greatly assisted by a Guru at another Forum.

That brings up a question: does the Hasleo Offline WinPE.OPE file have to be recreated as a result?  My .OPE file dates back to 2026-04-23.

Have a great day.

Phil

I've recently had to move from Macrium Reflect due to the psmounterex.sys issue. I was pleased to discover Hasleo Backup as it appeared to do all that I needed. However I am having problems getting either Pre or Post-Commands to work. I have created a small test backup with a post command to run a simple test .bat file to pop-up a text message. I can see that the batch file is triggered, but nothing happens and no backup is created. Hasleo Backup then hangs and Cancel does not work. No log file is created.

I also wanted to use a Pre-Command to switch on an external HDD before backing up to it, but have read that this is not possible at the moment?

I downloaded Hasleo Backup Suite Free to try before I buy but I tried three times to do a System Backup and a Drive/Partition Backup and they all failed with failed to write file. All backups were full backups with the default settings.
   
   
   
   

This feature works successfully to wake-up a desktop PC to run the backup tasks, but does this not work on my ASUS laptop.

The laptop is not powered off, just the lid closed overnight. The Event Viewer is full of entries of events that have run while the lid is closed, e.g., UserModePowerService that seems to have an entry every minute, or Microsoft Windows security auditing that has lots of entries.

It is just a minor inconvenience as these task start as soon as the laptop is opened.

1. Created a File Backup with encryption
2. Forgot password (the known password does not work)

So cannot mount the backup, but most important cannot delete the backup task as it requires the password. Seems the only way to recover is:
- uninstall/reinstall HBS
- delete the now useless backup files
- import all the tasks except that one
- recreate the schedules
- create a new task for the one with the incorrect password
- run a new backup

Any other suggestions?

@admin,

As a result of a topic to which I have been responding on another Forum, the issue of the Hasleo Backup Suite GUI was mentioned as a negative influence on the user switching to Hasleo.  That got me thinking, always a dangerous thing! 

I have never liked the very dark appearance of the HBSP program on my two computers.  I decided to see what I could do about that.

I went into the Themes options.  I am not sure, but I think it was set to "Automatic" on my desktop computer.  I apologize, but I wasn't paying really close attention.  I switched it to the "Light Theme" and I was immediately a very happy camper.  Then, I switched it to "Automatic" and the Light Theme "stuck."

Both of my computers are set in Windows 11 Pro (26200.8457) to use the OS "Light Theme."  I think I recall back in the past that I had switched it from the HBS "Dark Theme" on the desktop computer to "Automatic" and nothing happened.  Again, I do not trust my memory to be 100% at my age ... 

I used HBSP to backup my laptop computer subsequently this afternoon after my desktop computer.  HBSP was set to use the "Dark Theme" on that computer.  I never selected the "Dark Theme on either computer.  Of that fact, I am certain because I dislike Dark Themes.


So this raises two questions in my feeble mind:

1. Why is Dark Theme apparently the HBS program default Theme instead of Automatic?
2. Does the HBS program coding always accurately detect the OS Theme choice of the user's computer?


These are small issues to be sure, but they can have a big impact on a new user of the Hasleo Backup Suite.  The user may decide to abandon HBS and look at other backup products with a more "attractive" GUI.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil
