How far back does compatibility of Backup Image Files (DBI) go with the Emergency disk? That is, will an emergency disk made with the latest version of HBS, recognise and restore an image file made a year ago?, six months ago? AND vice versa - will a DBI file made now be recognised by an Emergency disk made a year ago, six months ago?

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering about the following: I'm a full time Linux user and would like to perform firmware updates of my Thunderbolt controller and my PD controller, but ASUS does not provide executable binaries for Linux unfortunately (only the BIOS / UEFI image is available and can be flashed via ASUS ezFlash in the BIOS / UEFI). Im not interested in installing Microsoft Windows on my PC at all, but would like to flash my PD controller and my Thunderbolt (ASMedia) controller on my motherboard. Would it work if I would boot from a WinToUSB stick and then perform the flash or is this not possible / risky? My system is using an ASUS X870E based AM5 motherboard (so relatively recent).

1)
Does fastboot need to be turned off before you make a system image or is it safe to leave it on and make a system image?


2)
I had this very strange thing happen when I made a system image which I had validated (checked) upon image-finish and did a re-check through Tools > check image, both times there where no errors. When I rebooted the machine the image was gone, like it was never made ...
The image was made on a drive that plenty free space and no type of encryption.
But:

• I used very long names with spaces and dashes (no special characters, just a-z, 0-9 and dash and underscore) but the image name was very long and the foldername in which the image was created also had a very long name.
  
  
• When I booted the system with linux-lite-usb I saw that the drive I tried to save the image on was read-only. The other drives on my system where normal read-write. In windows I can read/write normally on it. But in linux (live environment) and in hasleo usb-boot I could not place the created system image. But I find it strange that the image could be created successfully without errors and validation did not yield errors
  

• All was done through the backup-suite usb live environment
  
• In following backup attempts after I made the image I went to the option to "restore" the image just to look if it actually existed, and in the backup-suite the image existed! But when booting to windows they where gone!
  

I just upgraded my computer and installed a new NVMe SSD. I want to move the EFI partition from the old drive to the new drive using EasyUEFI to boot directly from NVMe. However, after copying and adjusting the boot entry, the computer still reports No bootable device.

I have tried:

Using Manage EFI System Partition to select the NVMe drive as the primary ESP

Adding a boot entry manually in EasyUEFI

Checking in BIOS, the boot option has appeared

But when booting, it still cannot boot.

Is there any step I am missing? Does EasyUEFI fully support moving EFI between SATA and NVMe drives, or do I need additional steps in BIOS/UEFI?

Hello all,

after WinToUSB Free v10.0 setup completed I also was happy to notice that it already included own x64 version of its executable.
But why after WinToUSB 10.0 setup completion, its x64 executable icon was not created and so enabled for its direct execution on my x64 OS (Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate) ?

I mean the 'Hasleo WinToUSB' icon it created only into its own menu (with same name) into Programs (since I choose not to create another one also on Desktop) would have been better if created to launch its x64 executable icon ('C:\Program Files\Hasleo\WinToUSB\x64\WinToUSB\bin\WinToUSB.exe') rather than only having x86 version icon created ('C:\Program Files\Hasleo\WinToUSB\bin\WinToUSB.exe').

Or otherwise setup might have been a little smarter to possibly let me choose if I preferred to run x64 version icon only or even propose me to have both x64 and x86 version icons rather than simply forcing me to only be able to choose x86 version icon.

What do you think about this ?

Thanks in advance for anyone else attention and quite obviously more related comment on this.

Best Regards
Rob

I created a USB drive with Hasleo Emergency Disk to recover a backup on the Microsoft Surface 11 Pro ARM, but when I restart the computer, the emergency disk loads, and then the screen freezes, and I can't do anything. 
What could be the reason?
 Thank you.

Hi. When trying to create a boot menu in HBS i get this error message: Failed to run system API. (0x028B001500000002). So i tried to create one in Safe mode but then i got another error message. See attached  backup-suite log.

Tested with V5.4.2.3

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a network share on a remote machine
2. Use that backup share as backup destination
3. Disable the share on the remote machine
4. Try changing the backup destination to another location

Result:
"The network path is not available" error.

There was also another glitch I can't reproduce anymore where it actually took the new path and saved it in the backup task. But on every action (backup, check image, open location, etc.) it still failed with an error while trying to take the old destination.

Expected:
It should be possible to change the location at any time without a check if the original destination is still available.

My use case:
The backup target server changed the IP and I wanted to switch the destination to the new UNC path. Due to this error and not being able to bypass it, I had to recreate the whole backup configuration, which was quite frustrating.

Minor usability improvement:
It would be helpful to be able to paste a path into the destination textbox, without having to use the browse button.


Thanks for looking into this.

Pretty amazing software.

I am unable to login to the network even though I have no password set.
What credentials should I use to login to export the xml file to a mapped network drive?

Hi I'm using the Hasleo Backup Suite v5.4.2.2 and trying to update it via the included updater. For me it seems like Smart Application Control is blocking the update. Win 11 Pro 24H2
Any ideas besides disabling SAC?
