Feature REQUESTS

[n8chavez]

Here's my list to Santa:

1.  A driver-based solution that allows for image mounting from within Explorer.exe
2.  A driver-based solution that allows a default image location to be secure to prevent image tampering/image deletion
(Both 1 and 2 do not require you to buy a driver.  You write your own, then sign it with a Windows Code Signing Certificate)
3.  Delta Restore function to be the default.  It's not default currently in PEs
4.  The ability to restore more than one partition at a time using partition mode.
5.  Custom image naming parameters.  For example, Reflect allows for the following.


{BACKUPTYPE}   Whether a full differential or incremental image was performed.
{COMPRESSION} The compression level that was used during the image, whether high, medium, or none.
{AES} The AES encryption type that was used when creating the backup. This can be none, 128, 192, or 256
{WINVER}   Windows major minor and build number (X.X.XXXXX)
{PCNAME}   The PC NetBIOS name
{ISODATE} Current backup formatted date and time (YYYY-MM-DDTHH.MM.SS)
{YYYY} Year with century, as a number
{YY} Year without century, as a number (00 - 99)
{MM} Month as a number (01 - 12)
{MNAME} Full month name
{MNAMESHORT} Abbreviated month name
{WEEKNUMM} Week number (00 - 53). The 1st Monday is the 1st day of week 1
{WEEKNUMS} Week number (00 - 53). The 1st Sunday is the 1st day of week 1
{DD} Day of month as a number (01 - 31)
{WDNAME} Full weekday name
{WDNAMESHORT} Abbreviated weekday name
{WDNUMMON} Weekday as a number (1 - 7; Monday is 1)
{WDNUMSUN} Weekday as a number (0 - 6; Sunday is 0)
{HH} Hour in 24-hour format (00 - 23)
{HH12} Hour in 12-hour format (01 - 12)
{AMPM} A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock
{MIN} Minute as a number (00 - 59)
{SS} Second as a number (00 - 59)

Thank you very much for all your suggestions.

Regarding suggestion 1, there are no major issues with implementing this feature, but it will require some time for coding.
Regarding suggestion 2, we currently lack a driver signing certificate, which is the core of the problem. For more information, please refer to:

Regarding suggestion 3, this is very easy to accomplish.
As for suggestions 4 and 5, these would require a significant amount of coding, and we will consider them in the future.

We also hope to have all of these features completed by 2026.

Yes, of course.

Is anyone else able to delete images from within HBS without it requiring a password? I am, and it seems odd that HBS requires a password for mounting and restoring yet doesn't to delete an image.

Is anyone else able to delete images from within HBS without it requiring a password?  I am, and it seems odd that HBS requires a password for mounting and restoring yet doesn't to delete an image.

After mounting an image or completing a restoration, the data stored within the encrypted image file becomes accessible, which could lead to data leakage. However, if the image file is deleted, data leakage will not occur. Therefore, whether a password should be required in this specific scenario is a point worth discussing.

The way I look at it, what's the point of having an image if it can be easily deleted or tampered with without the user even know or doing it by accident?
