A relative of mine (80+ senior) recently bought a Dell computer with Win 11 Home. It seems that after a recent Windows update BitLocker is now on by default in new purchases. The senior involved has had several episodes of a boot screen issue where the Bitlocker code was needed.

I'm planning to disable BitLocker as (in this case) it's not really needed and an unencrypted disk is probably best for this individual.
I want full backups before I disable BitLocker (just in case)... so some questions:

1. If I do a full disk/partition backup, I'm assuming the backup is still encrypted so a restore would still need BitLocker credentials even if the working computer has had BitLocker turned off?

2. If I mount the BitLocker version backup, BitLocker credentials would be needed to restore files/folders?

Based upon the above assumptions, I would plan a new full backup of the unencrypted drive

Am I on the right track?  Thanks for any insights.

Recovery Disk boots but won't respond to USB keyboard input? Does Recovery Disk support USB3/4? If so, then how? (MiniPC. USB4 and USBC ports only. No legacy USB in BIOS.)

I know I can click the "Backup" button or use the Actions --> Backup menu item to start a backup, but this always starts a specific type of backup (Full, Incremental, etc.).  I want to run a  scheduled backup on demand. This way, whatever backup is next based on the schedule will run. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Dear Hasleo Administrator,
I hope the backup file's description can be multi line , for the easy reading & muliti description. 
Like Acronis True Image  backup utility.
Thanks.    

HBS 5.5.2.2 free, I've mounted image backup of another pc as virtual drive but when i browse user home folder (c:\users\myuser) access is denied

Used Hasleo Disk Clone to clone a 512GB SSD to an internal  M2 SSD.

It worked. The M2 drive now boots, but the 2.5" SSD won't any longer. Presume some sort of hardware mismatch. How can this be corrected?

Since the Emergency Disk tool included with HBS only supports USB flash drive and cannot be used to make the Portable SSD bootable?  Will WinToUSB work to make the portable SSD bootable from the winpe.iso generated from HBS instead of having to use a separate USB flash drive?  I have purchased HBS Pro.  Should I also purchase WinToUSB Pro for this case?

Hello, on the backup suite product page:

https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software...-free.html

The orange download button hover menu obstructs/hides the download for the ARM64 version as shown in the attached hasleodownload1.png screenshot.

   

If I scroll down the page the green download button becomes available and that hover menu works correctly, as shown in the attached hasleodownload2.png. 

   

I have the same issue when viewing the website with Chrome, Edge and FireFox on Windows 11.

Looks like someone needs to fix the HTML/CSS so the orange button displays the ARM download correctly. 

Thanks.

Installed: Backup Suite Home 5.5.2.2, OS: Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.
Problem: when trying to restart the system using Hasleo boot menu entry, I get this error:
"Windows failed to start. A recent HW / SW change could be the case/reason"
"A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed"
"Status: 0xc000000f"

All system devices (SSD + 2 HDD) are connected and work; nevertheless, only the OS-SSD should be needed, I guess.

I have installed the Home version on 14. Dec 2025 and tested the boot menu + the rescue media, and both worked.
Neither the hardware nor the OS (Win 7...) have been changed, as far as I know.
The old OS backup software, that I want to replace with Hasleo, started up with no problem.

What can I do now?

Thanks.

Somewhat experimental the native NVME driver in Win 11 25H2 crashes sector backup at 36%.

I enabled the driver through the registry overrides to test. Everything seems to work ok with my ancient Corsair MP510 NVME. Did a couple of normal backups using latest Hasleo Suite. No problems, but when backing up my 2 x Linux partitions using sector by sector the backup (full) is slow and stalls at 36% so a reboot is required as it locks up Hasleo. Tried it a couple of times but same results with the NVME driver.

Disabled the NVME driver back to SCSI mode and the backup was much faster and completes normally.

To enable NVME

Just open regedit.
Go to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies\Microsoft\FeatureManagement\Overrides
Add DWORD 32 Bits:
“735209102”=dword:00000001
“1853569164”=dword:00000001
“156965516”=dword:00000001

I know it's a niche situation with sector by sector backup to docked HDD but the driver maybe enabled in future updates so might solve some headaches in the future.
