Hasleo is not removing old backups even though I set a retention policy. Thoughts?

Maybe, as a newbie to this forum, I may be obtuse and overlooking the obvious. If so, I would be grateful if someone can undeceive me. 

My problem is the following:

I have always preferred making System Backups after having booted my computer from a bootable USB drive. So whenever there is a new update of Hasleo Backup Suite, first thing I do create go to Tools in the Navigation Bar and click Emergency Disk. Finally I copy the resulting  ISO File to a bootable USB drive (created with Ventoy).  bootable WinPE media

This worked a real treat, until the recent update of HBS to version 4.9.1 In this latest version, when I click  Tools, next Emergency Disk, for some reason, I no longer get the option "Add a driver"nor the option "Download WinPe Components"; these two options are simply invisible. The Emergency Disk Tool Tool unceremoniously skips these two optiions ,though in the end it does produce an ISO File. 

When I copy this ISO File to my bootable USB drive and then reboot my computer from this bootable USB drive, I can run Hasleo Backup Suite, but almost immediately after I have started the programme, it spontaneously aborts itself and gives up the ghost.

Is there anyone who can explain this behaviour of the Emergency Disk Tool of Hasleo Backup Suite, or even someone who has similar experiences? incidentally, when looking in Explorer at my HASLEO folder, it also strikes me that the size of the ISO File created by the Emergency Disk Tool of HBS version 4.9.1 is considerably smaller (something like 380 Mb) compared with the ISO Files created by earlier versions of HBS. Could this difference in size be due to no WinPE components being incorporated into the ISO file produced by HBS 4.9.1? Your guess is as good as mine .........

Here's something odd.  I just did a complete restore of every partition in my latest full HBS image.  As you can see from the images below, there's a discrepancy between my images and what HBS wants to do.  If I select all four imaged partitions, in disk mode, then the other partitions on my disk will get deleted if I restore the four that are in my image file.  Even ticking the option to keep the partition layout does nothing different.  It shouldn't be that way, should it?  There's nothing in the HBS image that even mentions those other partitions.  I assume it's because I'm using HBS in disk mode and not partition mode.

Disk mode - All partitions except those being restored get deleted
Partition mode - Cannot select more than one partition to restore
Delta restore - The only way I can see to not have my other partition deleted is to use the HBS advanced mode.  However, doing so does not allow me to use delta restore.  In effect, what's the point of having it then?

All of these are huge issues.  Are users expected to not have other partitions on their drives?  Are we supposed to restore one partition at a timer, even though doing so creates boot errors with uefi?



           

Every time I do a complete system restore, delta or not, I have problems booting into my uefi partition.  That partition is just a custom built PE, contain maintenance applications, HBS, IFW, etc.  When I boot up and select it, it begins to boot just fine but then crashes two seconds  later.  My computer then restarts. This happens every time I restore that partition with HBS, not not with Image for Windows or Reflect.  Obviously, I do these restores outside of Windows.  Maybe the issue is the PE/RE version?

What log file do you need?

Can you please characterize the cloning capability of HBS... not what it can do but how aligned is it with your Hasleo Disk Clone (HDC) product.  Does it have all the current product's capability and is it kept at the same level as the HDC product?

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Hello,
  If a schedule task is going and you double click on the tray icon it will go to the Home Page/Section instead showing the current status of the schedule job running like it did in the past.

Thank you

Recently, I've noticed that HBS takes longer to restore an image using delta restore on than with it off.  The time difference is not even that close; nine minutes (or so) with delta on and 2.5 with it off.  It's not like there's a lot of changes; maybe 2 gb of changes on a 50 gb partition How can that be?  Does reading for changes really take that long with HBS?

Hi

All my email addresses use IMAP rather than SMTP. Is there any way to configure backup notifications via IMAP?

Russ

Using version 4.1, when I receive an email notification in Outlook 365 that says a backup is complete it indicates there is an attachment.

However, when I open the email there is no attachment to be found, however the body of the email is there.

Anyone else has 4.91 installed yet?  I'm having an issue that was not in 4.9.  When you go to mount a volume, after you select your task, when I click on "change version" there is no other image listed there except the most recent.  There are other images in the same directory on my disk though, they're just not listed.  This was not the case with 4.9.  Can anyone confirm?
