I still have, and use, my 4-license pack of Macrium Reflect 8, but eventually Windows will kill it, and regardless, there will be no further enhancements to it.
I also have two lifetime licenses for Easeus Todo Backup Home (ETBH) with free upgrades that I purchased years ago. I alternate my backups between my imaging programs. I don't like having all of my backup images in "one basket."
I have been following the Hasleo topics here and at Wilders for over a year. From what I was reading, Hasleo looked my best option to replace MR8.
The lifetime price for five computers with free upgrades was only $142.83 CA, after our taxes and the currency conversion. I expect the price will rise as HBSP gains traction and market share. That is much cheaper than and an MR X subscription after three years. I do dislike subscription models if there are reasonable alternatives.
I backed up both of my computers today using Hasleo Backup Suite Professional (HBSP) for the first time today and created Emergency USBs. It was incredibly easy to use. Even on low compression, partition images of my entire C: drive were smaller than both MR8 and ETBH. The backup speed was comparable to both MR8 and ETBH. I opted for the "Complete" Check Image, so that took longer than the MR8 "Verify Image," but was about the same as the ETBH "Check Image."
Now that they are selling HBSP, they will have some money coming in. These are relatively early days for the product. I expect great things. I think MR has some serious competition coming! The HBSP developers are very fast to implement customer feedback, within their currently limited resources.
The GUI is clean and professional. No razzle-dazzle. For me, this was a worthwhile investment. I would like to see MR dethroned; in my opinion, MR has become too arrogant. Their expensive subscription model, and its current numerous licensing verification issues, are well-documented in their Forums, of which I am a longtime member.
So that is my take on Hasleo with a couple of days experience. I am happy to be a HBSP customer.
Have a great day.
Regards,
Phil
