When deleting a backup task, an offer is made to delete the backup files as well.  When I check this option, and the target disk where the backup chain lives is not on-line (an off-line EXTERNAL USB), the process continues without mention of the fact that the backup chain files themselves were never deleted during this task deletion process (and don't get deleted later when the target device is brought back on-line).

This occurs in the latest release (don't know about earlier releases)... v3.4.1 Build#20230313.

I'm trying to test Restore to use Hasleo to replace my other backup/restore suite.

So, I created a backup and stored it on my D: drive in the "Hasleo Backups" folder.

I created a WinPE Boot menu entry, booted using it, and opened the window to browse for the backup folder.

But all it will show me is "D:\"  It will not let me browse the folders in D:

In tried entering Hasleo Backups in the File name box, but that does not work.

So, how am I supposed to get into the folder to choose an image for restoring?

NOTE: Same thing happens when I try to install the BT driver using the same Browse function -- it will not let me see the folders to choose the one where I have the exported drivers.

I remembered that when you first use Hasleo, it asks for a folder for storing the images.  I'm guessing it saves that, so that when you select Restore, it goes to that folder.  But when you boot from the WinPE Boot menu, it does not know about that folder -- or at least, I don't see a way to tell it about that folder.  So, it does not know where to look for the images.

I'm working though using the Hasleo Backup suite to replace my other backup/restore app, so I used the tool to create a WinPE Boot entry -- and skipped over the driver page.

Now, when I boot, the laptop does not see the Bluetooth mouse.  So, my plan was to recreate the WinPE Boot but this time, add the BT drivers for the mouse.  So, I used the option to Remove the Boot record.

But I though when I clicked to Add it again, it would put up the Driver screen -- but it does not.

So, I'm guessing I have to remove something that Hasleo has created and saved for the WinPE Boot.

I looked in the c:\boot folder (where the other app stores its WinPE boot files) and there were no Hasleo files there.

So, I need to know where to go and what to remove to force the reload of the Drivers window.

Thanks

My Windows 10 installation's BIOS mode is Legacy. HBS restore has a "Restore to GPT" feature. Does this feature convert an MBR system to UEFI? And after restoration, the system will boot, or is a BIOS mode change required?

Sorry if this has been answered, but I didn't see any forum threads and was not able to find it in the documentation ...

I'm switching over to using Hasleo from a different Imaging/Backup solution and am used to providing lengthy, detailed comments for individual system images.

I checked the box in the Advanced features to allow comments but can not find the place to enter such comments.  The other app had a separate Window for that, but I do not see anything like that in the Hasleo app.

So, where would I find this?

I'm using Hasleo Backup Suite and have Gom Player Plus on the system. After every HBS restore, I have to reactivate GPP.

It would be great if you could fix the issue.

To avoid having to press a function key, to direct the boot to my USB device, I need to know what folder/file to point the boot process to in BIOS setup. 

I added a boot option, pointing it to the USB device. 

BIOS then asks me to select the media file, listing the folders and files it can see at that location.
I have not yet selected a folder as the target, so I am not sure doing so will not result in another selection to make from the contents of the (yet-to-be) selected folder. 

The list of options are: (See attachment)
<System Volume Information> (Folder)
<Boot> (Folder)
<EFI> (Folder)
<$RECYCLE.BIN> (understood as not a valid option)
bootmgr (File)
D519D51B______fill in the blank with tons of characters______.exc (File)

I greatly appreciate any assistance!

My main System disk has 5-partitions on it (EFI, MSR, C: <OS>, V: <Data> & Microsoft Recovery).  I'm currently using Hasleo's Disk/Partition mode to image this device in a backup capacity to my main imaging software.  As a backup, I expect it to restore the exact same disk geometry as was imaged... this to insure that my Primary disk backup functions properly following a Hasleo restoration.  This is not happening in the Disk Mode restore, whether I use the "Keep Partition Layout" option or not.

Windows re-lettered my V: (data) partition to letter F: following the restore, and my primary imaging software can no longer find the geometry needed (Partition 1 <EFI>not found where it should be) to perform a proper backup.  Even if I change the mis-lettered partition back to V:, the primary imaging application still cannot find the configuration it needs.

I don't use "System Backup" mode because I want that extra Data partition in my image.  Is there something I'm missing here...???

This issue was also in the 13Jan2023 build as well... any help, greatly appreciated!

Crashes Windows, does not execute pre command batch net use, and post command detach

Apparently HBS v3.4 is now available... but without RELEASE NOTES, it's impossibly to know what has been addressed/changed along the way.

Maybe I just can't find them... any help, greatly appreciated!
