I just tried around a bit with the new HBS Free v5.5.2.0.

When I install the free version in a VM with Windows Server 2025 Standard, I receive the following error:
There are bad sectors on the drive. (0x075400690000045D).



Pretty sure this can't happen in a VM.

And why is the free version able to backup on a server edition?
Shouldn't this trigger another error message?

I tried the same with an earlier snapshot and version v5.4.2.5 doesn't throw that error.

Log's attached, hope that helps

Though this question may be relative to other versions, I'll only reference the Pro version herein.

I see that the current price for a Pro license is US $54.95, and it includes "Enjoy free lifetime upgrades."  I am writing to ask exactly what this means.  Does this mean the license will be valid for any Pro version of HBS moving forward?  FOREVER?  I have a difficult time understanding that business model long term, so I'd like to be sure I understand properly.  And I'd like to feel assured that Pro won't be replaced with something like "Pro Plus" in the future, negating a "free lifetime upgrade" license of the Pro version.

I have another question.  The comparison chart indicates "Number of licensed computers: 1 PC."  Can a license be transferred to a different PC?  And how difficult is this process?  I'm planning on building/purchasing a PC in about a year and would like to know if I buy a license now if it would be valid on the replacement PC.  (Still only used on one PC - my current PC would be recycled.)

And finally, does Hasleo have any intentions of releasing a "multi pack" license with a deep discount?  Like, if I wanted to purchase, for instance, a set of 4 licenses so I can use the software on multiple computers in my household?

Thanks for any clarification.  And congratulations on moving forward toward the important step - monetization.

When I boot in to 5520 with EITHER of two USB ED rescue disks I have made using the download from MS method, the HBS on the rescue disks does not 'see' the SSD in my machine (a Dell XPS with 1 TB SSD). HBS 'sees' all other disks attached to the machine - just not the local (ie., the installed) SSD.

When I use a different ED USB made with the earlier HBS 5425, no problem - it 'sees' my local SSD.

I have set rEFIND as my first boot option, but when I reboot Windows loads and rEFIND has been lowered to the second option. Is anyone aware of a work around for this?

Good morning, I have this problem in Emergency disk. The error is: impossible dismount the WIM file (0x068800CD00000005). Why?
Can you help me? Thanks

I'm trying everything to restore a backup of a physical Windows PC to a Proxmox VM, but to no avail. Has anyone succeeded?

I'm a long-time Veeam agent for Windows free user. Always worked when needed. When a couple of days ago Veeam prompted me to install the latest version I did so and created a new recovery usb stick when prompted to do so.

The recovery stick didn't work: no keyboard, no mouse. Found out that it's the latest Microsoft update bricking the winre environment. None of the suggested solutions worked. Veeam is silent about the problem. Waiting for a Microsoft fix.

Found Hasleo Backup. Installed it. They have their own winpe environment. It works. The backups are faster and smaller than Veeam, both full and incremental. Everything works, mounting images is easy and fast. Recovery stick offers the same interface as the full Windows environment.

How is this possible? Questions on this forum gets answered. Bugs get fixed. Where's the catch?

Hello.
When creating a backup system with a schedule, a task is created. However, when manually enabling it, the following error appears: The system cannot find the path specified (0x02FD008500000000). Even though the folder hasn't been adjusted and is specified correctly.

The only solution is to reopen the task editor and, without changing anything, click Select folder under Save location and save the task again. Then the task starts without any problems.

Trying to clear my head a bit from the early days...

At what point is the HBS Emergency Disk built using the System's existing WinRE-base WIM rather than the MicroSloth downloaded (PE-based I believe) WIM.

I assume using the off-line (OPE) version is PE-based.

Any help, greatly appreciated!

Привет.
При использовании диска аварийное восстановление загрузка происходит очень долго. Появляется пустой синий экран, на котором можно перемещать только курсорную мышь. Программа запускается примерно через четыре минуты, после чего всё работает нормально. 
При использовании диска аварийного восстановления загрузка происходит очень долго. Появляется пустой синий экран, где можно только двигать курсором мыши. Программа запускается только примерно через четыре минуты, после чего всё работает нормально. То же самое происходит при добавлении Hasleo в список загрузки или при попытке восстановить системный раздел. Всё работает нормально, но только после долгого ожидания.
Я создал образ WinPE из системы и поставил галочку, чтобы загрузить его с сайта Microsoft — никакой разницы.
Windows 11 и Hasleo – все последние версии.
Так и должно быть, или я что-то делаю не так?
