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.

I assumed this is the central feature request thread(?)

Any chance of an system snapshot function in the future?

Something like rollback RX? https://horizondatasys.com/rollback-rx-t...fessional/

In short: A system snapshot is a locked state of an machine to which you can quickly roll back to, in rollback RX creating a snapshot takes about 10 to 30 seconds (depending on machine) and reverting to a previous snapshot takes minutes. Snapshots are very useful for reverting PC issues or for testing an PC application or just wanting to revert back to a clean state.

You could make this a separate paid product or as an paid component within the suite to help with the funds regarding hasleo backup suite?

As a sidenote: As far as I know windows-system-restore is not exactly the same as the requested function -> Windows System Restore only restores system files and some program files.
The requested snapshot functionality would capture (snapshot) the whole OS-system.

In my opinion, the backup function of Hasleo Backup Suite and the snapshot function of rollback RX actually perform the same task for users, allowing them to restore the operating system to a previous point in time. Hasleo Backup Suite can also complete incremental backups in tens of seconds (equivalent to rollback RX's snapshot points) and can restore the system in a few minutes, especially with the Delta Restore feature it can be even faster.

So what are the advantages of snapshots over backups? Is there a need to reinvent the wheel when backups already exist? This is just my personal opinion.

[r0n]

The snapshot function is not meant as an backup but as an convenient way to go to a different state.
Snapshots also take very little space in comparison to backups (even compared to incremental backups).
I don't know if you've tried rollback rx but the process is really smooth, it's difficult to explain you have to have experienced it.
But as you stated the combination of incremental backups with differential restore could closely match the rollback version so there might be no need for it.
But I still hope this might change in the future.
In any case, thanks for feedback!
