But as previously said: I cannot do a System Restore to a full disk if this disk contains the backup file.
To restore only some but not all partitions I have to enable "Advanced mode". And "Advance Mode" is NOT available in Free Haselo Backup Suite.
Very bad.
So there is only Partition mode which in turn let me only restore one partition at a time. So I have to perform manually 4 (!) single independent partition restores. Very bad. This should be changed in future releases
Regarding the issue you mentioned about not being able to restore using disk mode, the main reason is that the backup image file is stored on the target drive (i.e., the system disk you want to restore). When restoring in disk mode, all partitions on the target disk will be deleted to rebuild the complete disk structure. If the backup image file is located on this disk, it will also be deleted, causing the restoration process to fail. This is why the system does not allow you to directly select a disk that contains the backup file for disk-based restoration.
To resolve this issue, we strongly recommend that you:
1. Copy the backup image file to an external drive.
2. Then, initiate the restoration process from the external drive. At that point, you will be able to use disk mode to restore all partitions at once, without needing to perform multiple operations.
Additionally, storing backup image files on the same disk as the source operating system carries inherent risks: if the system disk fails or becomes corrupted, you risk losing not only your current system but also the backup file needed for recovery. Therefore, saving backups on independent external drive is a safer and more reliable practice.
