Thank you @chmichael, @Froggie and @garioch7 for the excellent discussion!
We fully understand the potential in the Linux market that @chmichael mentioned. However, as @Froggie and @garioch7 analyzed, Hasleo's core user base is currently concentrated on the Windows platform, and our team's expertise primarily lies in Windows development. Implementing reliable and efficient snapshot backup on Linux (especially meeting enterprise-level consistency requirements) would indeed require significant R&D resources, and the fragmentation of the Linux ecosystem further amplifies this challenge. Of course, Linux's open-source nature and the accessibility of file system-related resources provide some convenience for development, but the trade-off between overall investment and market size requires careful evaluation—especially since we don't have resources as abundant as Veeam's.
In the short term, we will continue to focus on improving the Windows version of Hasleo Backup Suite to ensure the best possible experience for our existing users. At the same time, we will keep monitoring market changes and technological trends, and we do not rule out the possibility of exploring Linux support at an appropriate time in the future.
Once again, thank you for your valuable suggestions and recognition! Discussions like these help us chart our direction more clearly.
Best regards,
Hasleo Software Team
