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?
