How to let Backup Suite WinPE remember options on USB flash drive? - pstein - 01-07-2026
Assume I boot Hasleo Backup Suite from USB flash drive and change some options.
Like switch Theme to "Light" or switch compression to "high"
These option changes are NOT remembered (and re-used) the next time I start Hasleo Backup Suite.
Is this possible at all?
All options are reset to their initial values.
If not can you add this feature in the next release?

Any changes made within WinPE are discarded upon reboot, as WinPE is designed as a temporary, memory-resident preinstallation environment. Consequently, modifications to settings such as the theme or compression level reside solely in the current session’s memory and cannot be persisted to the boot medium. All configurations will revert to their defaults after each restart.
Since the WinPE recovery environment in Hasleo Backup Suite is intended solely for temporary system recovery, persistent saving of user settings is not currently within our scope of consideration.

I always wondered this too, but more about settings retained from installed version to RE/PE iso. Some settings seem to be remembered from the installed Hasleo when the WinRE(PE) ISO is created, like compression level = high, storage path "D:\Images", but others are are not retained, like incremental vs full backup. The storage path is "remembered" but if you format that partition later (same letter, different UUID?), it is then "forgotten", presumably because the UUID is different.
I'd like to see it at least remember/retain all the installed Hasleo settings when the ISO is created.

HBS has tried to synchronise all settings to WinEP. Please note that HBS uses a unique partition identifier rather than the drive letter to identify a partition. Therefore, if the partition UUID changes, the storage path will no longer be recognized, which is normal. What do you mean by the "incremental vs. full backup" option you mentioned?
RE: How to let Backup Suite WinPE remember options on USB flash drive? - Dude Guyman - 01-10-2026
I meant I always/only use the Full option + high compression (that one stays put), but in RE it defaults to the other. Incremental? Differential? I forgot the exact term. It's not a big deal though. Just a thought. One more thing to have to double check each time. It may even do the same in the installed version, I never use that either, only the "rescue.iso". Well, I don't even use that any more since you removed Enterprise/LTSC support, and have not bought the paid version yet due to no Linux EXT4 file system support.

The default compression level has definitely been synchronized to WinPE. Regarding EXT4 support, we currently lack the manpower to complete it.

I have respectfully asked you before, as have other Forum members, why you continue to think that HBSP must evolve NOW to meet your very individual needs?
You have stated that you have an imaging product that meets your needs, or so you said.
May I respectfully inquire as to why you continue to post complaints about HBS?
Please, use the product that you say "meets your needs," which are very individual to you.
I think that @admin, has been very, very patient with you. Hasleo has a very small team. They must work, in the immediate future, to evolve their product to meet the needs of the majority of users, to become a successful company.
They might, down the road, when they are established, with a good revenue flow, look to supporting the Linux environment, but that is a relatively small community, compared to Windows. That will be a business decision that Hasleo will make then.
I don't know about other Forum members, but I find your constant complaints about HBS repetitive and tiring.
I respectfully submit these comments for your consideration.
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil
