Too good to be true ? - dheijl - 10-20-2025 I'm a long-time Veeam agent for Windows free user. Always worked when needed. When a couple of days ago Veeam prompted me to install the latest version I did so and created a new recovery usb stick when prompted to do so. The recovery stick didn't work: no keyboard, no mouse. Found out that it's the latest Microsoft update bricking the winre environment. None of the suggested solutions worked. Veeam is silent about the problem. Waiting for a Microsoft fix. Found Hasleo Backup. Installed it. They have their own winpe environment. It works. The backups are faster and smaller than Veeam, both full and incremental. Everything works, mounting images is easy and fast. Recovery stick offers the same interface as the full Windows environment. How is this possible? Questions on this forum gets answered. Bugs get fixed. Where's the catch? RE: Too good to be true ? - CDC9762 - 10-20-2025 I believe Hasleo can build a recovery stick using their own or WinRE. If you care, have a look at post #9 from Froggie in this thread: https://www.easyuefi.com/forums/thread-4100.html The catch is none right now. They apparently make money off their other products but the free for this program may not be forever, but who knows, so use it as you wish. RE: Too good to be true ? - al3x - 10-20-2025 For some people the catch might be that Hasleo is a company based in China and there‘s little known about the developers themselves. But if you leave out politics, this software is a masterpiece and what they offer just works out of the box - and it’s still free! I still believe in the good in people and in my opinion, HBS shows clearly that the developers are behind their product and really care to improve it. For me personally this weighs higher than anything else and I’m really happy to have made the switch from the competition.

I switched over to HBS from Acronis for which I still have a subscription. Much prefer HBS - simpler, works better, quicker and questions get answered. I also use Haleo EasyUEFI and that is great too. RE: Too good to be true ? - Froggie - 10-20-2025 The Hasleo/EasyUEFI team has been around since circa 2012. Since then not one peep concerning anyones possible nefarious motives, including phoning home other than when necessary. I find the group trustworthy and honest when direct dealings are required.
