@nkptext123:
Perhaps I am missing something obvious ... ?
Personally, I like the File Manager option. It simplifies access to the files in the image that average users might want to restore for various reasons.
Hasleo Backup Suite (HBS) offers an encryption option. I don't encrypt my system images because that is not a concern for me. I control access to my computer and external backup drives.
Encryption would
probably slow down the imaging process,
I don't know, but if the security of your images is of such concern to you, I suggest it might be worthwhile to consider it ...
I would also submit, as someone who has owned a computers since 1988 and began backing up then, with a program called "
Fastback Plus", that the vast majority of users want easy access to their backup files for restore purposes. I am unaware of any other major imaging program that requires a password to access a user's backup image if the image was not encrypted upon creation.
As a Hasleo Backup Suite Pro customer, I would be
opposed to it increasing the complexity of accessing files in unencrypted images for restoration purposes. As a computer consultant, the biggest devil is trying to convince customers to backup in the first place!
I
suggest that HBS has already addressed your concern by offering an encryption option during the imaging creation process ...
Am I missing something obvious?
Have a great day.

Phil
