Assume I perform (from WinPE) a System Backup (of some) of my partitions.

Does Hasleo backup only the inner content of these partitions or the partition structure as well?

In other words:

If I replace the current SSD on my mainboard with a new unformatted (bigger) one and perform a restore:
Does Hasleo recognize the missing partitions and automatically re-create them?

Including same GPT/MBR mode?
including same NTFS/FAT32 mode?
Including same partition sizes and order?

Or is it more stupid and need an suitable pre-formatted, initialized partition structure on the target volume/disk?

Assume I boot Hasleo Backup Suite from USB flash drive  and change some options.

Like switch Theme to "Light" or switch compression to "high"

These option changes are NOT remembered (and re-used) the next time I start Hasleo Backup Suite.

Is this possible at all? 

All options are reset to their initial values.

If not can you add this feature in the next release?

I have a VeraCrypt encrypted partition which I want to make file backup.
No VSS is enabled on that partition and BackupWorker.log says:

It's clear what a subscriber receives if they opt to purchase and receive the lifetime updates at the higher price, it's not very clear what you don't receive using the lower priced PRO option tier.

Anyone may explain if they know... the COMPARISON CHART does not offer an explanation.  Thank you!

In several test I found out that the shown estimated remaining time for a system backup is very, very inaccurate.

starting with a time of roughly 2min 30 second it jumps several times a minute back during the backup.
At the end the total time was 14 minutes.

Can you improve the estimated remaining time calculation?
+/-15 % would be acceptable

After starting a System  Backup Hasleo Backup Suite presents me all found partitions.

The Windows 10 partition and the ESP partition are pre-selected (=shown with a checkmark in checkbox).
Unfortunately the 0,49 GB Recovery partition is NOT pre-selected.

Moreover when I tick into the corresponding checkbox it cannot be selected.

Why?

How can I perform a System Backup WITH Recovery Partition?

As a result of a system backup Hasleo Backup suite creates a *.dbi file

Is it possible (OUTSIDE of Hasleo) to somehow later peek into this file?
Or mount it as a drive?
or convert it to a mountable *.iso file?

I just tried this new build.  There was no changelog, so I can't tell for sure, but HBS is a tad faster with this build compared to previous beta build. I use 60GB of partition data on my system drives (nvme to nvme, max compression with encryption) this build creates the image in 34 seconds resulting in a 20.01GB image file, whereas previously in was created in 39 seconds resulting in a 20.20GB image file.  Not much, I know in terms of time.  But a 12% increase in speed is impressive.

Awesome job!

Does the paid home version support the CLI?  I don't think it does, or I'm doing something wrong.  When I run:

C:\Progra~1\HBS\bin\BackupCmdUI.exe /a run /g 9684907D-6B60-43B1-B70D-6FD3E125EF40 /t 0 /s 1

I get "Error: The home version doesn't support the command-line interface. (0x00718844000000E9)"

Hi,

just made a new WinPE rescue media from the current v5.6.1.1 beta version from within a german Win11.

When booting from this rescue disk I just realized that the keyboard layout is wrong:
Pressing äöüß gives ';[- which seems to be the standard US layout instead of German.

I guess this is a side effect of the date/time display change that was introduced somewhere in the latest beta versions?

This can be fixed temporarily from within WinPE with this command:
wpeutil setkeyboardlayout 0407:00000407

You can also change this permanently with DISM during image creation, found this documentation here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...windows-11

Hoping for a permanent fix though, entering passwords is hard if the keyboard layout is wrong
