  Access to Protected Folder from Mount
Posted by: Bespoken - 05-02-2026, 09:10 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (4)

When a system image is mounted is there a way to access the protected folders? The access is needed to restore some of the folders in C:\Users\me\* that were stored in a previous build.

  Does Backup Normally Exclude the Recycle Bin?
Posted by: starchase - 05-02-2026, 07:29 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (11)

I did some searching on the Backup Forum but didn't find this information. I "assume" that when performing a backup of one's System Disk the copying of the Recycle Bin is excluded.  I'd just like confirmation. Thanks!

  Documentation - PDF-based Feature Compendium
Posted by: Froggie - 05-01-2026, 06:28 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (18)

Greetings all! While listening to documentation needs here at the Forum, and balancing that with some of my own needs, I have decided to create an all encompassing, PDF-based Feature Compendium for the Hasleo Backup Suite.  I'm in discussions with Hasleo on how best to offer an on-going, updated version of this document to the user community... that's the difficult part as the on-line documentation changes quite often.  We'll keep working on this project and try and bring it to some sort of conclusion.

In the meantime, the "point-in-time" version of this document (01June2026) is called Hasleo Backup Suite - Tutorials located on my GOOGLE Drive  Feel free to use the title's active link to download this current version until we figure out how to go public with a fully supported version.

Hope this helps!

Exclamation Important: Windows KB5083769 update may cause backups to get stuck
Posted by: admin - 04-30-2026, 03:12 AM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (75)

There is a known issue with Windows KB5083769 update that causes backups to fail. Almost all backup software is affected, including Acronis, Macrium, and Hasleo. For more information, please refer to:
https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/33...il-update/

Regarding Hasleo Backup Suite, several users have reported that file backups get stuck at 0% or 79%. Strangely, disk backups are not affected. The solution is to uninstall KB5083769, restart the computer, and then run the backup again.

According to @Stowdon's feedback, the issue below is also caused by KB5083769:
https://www.easyuefi.com/forums/thread-4...l#pid12635

Based on what we've seen so far, KB5083631 also appears to cause the same issue. (This information was added on May 4)

  HBS & encryption
Posted by: Bespoken - 04-29-2026, 08:19 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (4)

Is the encryption feature only available in the paid version (the comparison of products on the site does not show this feature)?  The option is shown as one of the tabs in the backup option, but the "Enable encryption" check-box and passwords cannot be entered.

  HBS 5.8.2.0 - Changing partition size with retaining BitLocker doesn't work
Posted by: al3x - 04-28-2026, 05:18 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (4)

Hey,

I might've found a small error with the restoring process of BitLocker encrypted partitions.

If you boot from WinPE and try to restore a backup that contains a BitLocker encrypted partition, you now have the chance to retain the BitLocker encryption:

If you tick that box and try to resize the C: partition, this won't work though. I could only reduce the size by 1 MB:

[Image: uo840SKK_o.png]

If I go back and uncheck the "Retain BitLocker encryption" checkbox, I can freely resize the partition:

Is there a reason or technical limitation for that? Or is this just a small GUI error that prevents me from resizing?

Thanks,
al3x

  Hasleo Backup Suite (HBS) FAQs
Posted by: garioch7 - 04-27-2026, 08:40 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (14)


Hasleo Backup Suite Index of FAQs - Introduction



The FAQ posts listed in the Hasleo Backup Suite (HBS) FAQs Topic are not a replacement for the Hasleo Online Help File, which should always be consulted first. The HBS Help File provides the basic information about navigating the various functions and options of the program. The posts in the HBS FAQs Topic assume that the user has already read and understood the basic information provided by the HBS Online Help File.

The purpose of the HBS FAQs Topic is to cull past Topics in the HBS Forum to provide more in-depth information about the various features and functions than is currently available in the Help file and respond to common questions that have arisen there. Over time, some of the information in the HBS FAQs Topic will be added to the HBS Online Help File.

Another tremendous resource for our Forum members is the Hasleo Backup Suite Articles and Tutorials. 🔗  If you find that a major subject is not covered by them, you can post in the Hasleo Backup Forum to request that a User Guide be created.  As it is, they are very comprehensive and professional.  They are maintained by the Hasleo Team Development Team, independently of the HBS FAQs Topic posts that are an initiative of the Hasleo Forum Team.  The HBS FAQs Topic posts can respond more quickly to document the ongoing enhancements to the Hasleo Backup Suite.

This HBS FAQs Topic is a proactive measure by the Hasleo Forum Team to share information with HBS users and customers, primarily based on past Hasleo Backup Forum posts.  This is an ongoing project.  Each month, it is hoped to add one or more FAQs to the Topic to further assist users to better understand the capabilities of the HBS product.

For a complete listing of HBS version production releases (does not include Alpha and Beta release versions), please see this link: https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software/tech-spec.html.


If there is a past topic or an issue that you think should be added to the HBS FAQs Topic, you are invited to send a Private Message (PM) to @garioch7. 🔗 You can do that by opening your Messages and selecting his name as the recipient; or, by clicking on his name in any post, or here, and selecting to send him a PM.

Both this Topic and HBS FAQs Topic are locked to keep them concise, without extraneous posts.  If Forum members want to respond to an HBS FAQs Topic post with questions or comments, they should open a topic in the Hasleo Backup Forum.

You may notice that some quotes have a "green arrow pointing right" after the name of the author of a quote.  By hovering your mouse over that green arrow and clicking it, you will be taken immediately to the quoted post.  In such cases, the same link is included at the bottom of the quote, because it is understood that some new Forum members may be unaware of that feature of the Forum software program.  That is why the visible link is repeated at the bottom of the post.

Posts that are quoted from "Forum Team discussions" are available only to the Forum Administrator and to Moderators.  As a result, no link is shown.  There will be no green arrow and no link at the bottom of the post.

More future posts are being considered as well, based on a comprehensive review of Forum posts dating back to when the HBS product was first released in May 2021 that identified common questions.

We hope these FAQs will assist our users and customers.  Thank you for selecting the Hasleo Backup Suite as your backup solution.

  Fails to backup
Posted by: billmcct - 04-27-2026, 08:15 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (3)

5.8.2.0 fails on my Dell Xeon syatem.
Says the system cannot find the path to the drive.
Clicking "Backup" "Disk/Partition Backup" took a full 3 minutes to load the next page.
I have been reading on other forums that it is also failing.
Here's one:

https://www.elevenforum.com/t/hasleo-bac...ost-734819

Now in your favor, The program is now showing all 5 of my partitions instead of three.
I did a restore yesterday, (Don't know why} but I had to resize the C: partition to 600 GB
and guess what? It wiped out my two Dell recovery partitions.
I was able to recover the partitions, however I think this is unacceptable.

  Malware detected during the creation of the recovery disk
Posted by: lavande - 04-27-2026, 05:55 PM - Forum: Hasleo Backup Suite (Free Windows Backup & Restore Software) - Replies (5)

Hello,

I updated Hasleo to the latest version, 5.8.2.0. When I try to create a recovery disk, Avast blocks the "BackupWorker.exe" file because it's infected with the "filerepmalware[misc]" threat. The recovery disk fails with an error.

VirusTotal doesn't detect anything related to this file, including Avast!

Is this a false positive?
