Updated on October 11, 2025 by Admin to Free Windows Backup Software

This tutorial describes how to use Hasleo Backup Suite to restore a Windows system, disk, or partition to a contiguous space on the destination disk without affecting other unselected, existing partitions.

Why do we need this feature?

Most Windows backup and restore software currently on the market will delete all partitions on the target disk during Windows or disk restoration. If those partitions contain essential files, you have to copy the files to another disk before restoration and then copy the files back to the source disk after the restoration is complete, which is a waste of time. To solve this problem, Hasleo Backup Suite provides a feature to allow users to restore a Windows system, disk, or partition to contiguous space on the destination disk without affecting other unselected, existing partitions.
