Feature REQUESTS

Can you please make it so that you must enter the image password before you're able to delete an image from within HBS? Currently, we're not prompted for a password but we are allowed to delete an image.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is this necessary? Even without using the delete image feature provided by HBS, users can in fact delete backup images manually. Thanks.

Necessary? No. But why would a password be required to mount an image but yet it's totally okay to just delete the whole thing without any safeguards? You can delete an image manually. But I have another app to protect that directory, until HBS gets a driver-based solution to do that itself, to prevent image manipulation.

Your last sentence is convincing, and we will improve it in future releases.

I find most of your assertions above to be in error.  When I do a SYSTEM or DISK restore (by DEFAULT, either using "Delta" or non-Delta restore"), all the selected partitions are restored in a non-destructive mode... all other partitions on that disk remain as they were.  You must leave the "Restore to original location" CHECKed (by DEFAULT).


The only valid observation I found from the above post was that individual partitions from a SYSTEM or DISK image could not, individually, be selected for restoration.  This is a feature that was requested in this Forum many, many moons ago.  I know not why it hasn't been implemented, maybe just forgotten by the Devs along the way (it should be simple to implement). If implemented, there would be no need for an individual PARTITION mode restore... it could be done in either SYSTEM or DISK mode.

I'm not sure how you're executing your above test but what you describe is not happening using DEFAULT restore modes.

The user is a spammer, so I have purged him.
