Feature REQUESTS

[guest123]

Another feature request that hopefully wouldn't be too difficult to add. In the file backup section, would it be possible to add an option to pick from "Image Mode or Native Format Mode"? This is the same feature that EaseUS Todo has. Personally, I don't like backing up my "files" to an image file. I prefer the native mode, while being able to have a retention scheme of 90 days or so.

Thanks

It is suggested to not use all-in-one software for everything when it comes to backup. Disk imaging is completely different from file/folder backup & it is better to use specialised software for each. There are various free file/folder sync/copy software which do the job perfectly fine without unnecessary complications of various services & processes involved with a disk imaging software. Here is one such software that not only backup/copy files & folders in native format but its versions also stored in "native format".

I think you're the one missing the point.  What you're asking for is not the function of any disk imaging application.  It is not its purpose.  Asking for things such as their will fragment HBS.

See above,  it is not me who is asking for such a feature. I am just giving example of another software which already have such functionality & would rather see HBS focus on & improve their core area of disk imaging/restore.

Well, the name of the program is Hasleo Backup "Suite".  One advertised feature is "File backup and restore" (see attached screen shot), so the program already HAS the file backup and restore feature. I have tested this feature over the past 6 weeks and it works very well, with the only downside for ME being that it backs up all the files and folders into a compressed image file. My suggestion is only to have a choice within the task to have Hasleo do it as it does now, or be able to choose not to copy everything into a compressed image file.  Obviously, your sync software suits your needs, which is great.

But that would require a foundational shift in how HBS functions. Compressing into an image file is kind of the point of every imaging program, hence name "imaging" program. That being said, when your files get backed up, or "imaged", that timestamp is going to change. Why would it not?

I'm not concerned about the timestamp. That was someone else.

Either way, backups are made in compressed single-files. That's just how they function. Anything other than that and it's beyond any imaging program. I suggest you look at robocopy or rclone. They'll most likely be better suited for your needs.

@admin Is there any chance to give european users the european timeformat (dd-mm-yyyy) for the WinPE (Hasleo bootmenu)?

I must admit I just would like to have an english rescue menue with my native european timeformat (because I get confused with the american mm-dd-yyyy).

[n8chavez]

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you use a European *.wim file as the basis for your WinPE?

I got no idea how to do that.

I deleted the .wim and .sdi in the boot folder and then created an Hasleo bootmenue in the following way:
When I install windows as an UK version, build the WinPE with Hasleo for the rescue bootmenue and tell Hasleo to fetch the WinPE files directly from Microsoft I would expect it fetches the UK verision (which should have european time/dates).

That's an interesting point. Perhaps it uses the US version by default? I'm not sure. It's best to see what @admin says.
