Feature REQUESTS

I can confirm this new build is working now. The one thing I did differently, after updating to the same build last night, was to confirm that no HBS services or processes were running before I installed this new version. Everything seems fine now.

One thing I was thinking about is, why not add password protection to the entire task? That way the task cannot be edited or changed without the password. Is it needed? No. But it would be something good to have? Yes.

Deleting an encrypted backup through the program interface requires a password.
Deleting the same encrypted backup in Windows Explorer does NOT require a password. What's the point of this option?
There are two doors, one wide open, the other locked with a large padlock, but you don't go through the open door, you try to pick the lock.
In this form, it only makes sense for teenagers to play spy. It's not even close to MIG from Macrium, since the goal is to protect backups from ransomware, not to play with a password that's useless when deleting a backup.

I agree. I've been saying the same things for a long time; that HBS needs a driver-based protection solution. That will come, I've been told. But not yet. But does that mean that we can't have either one until we get both. In the meantime, you can use something like HideFolders to secure the directory. That's what I'm doing.

I agree with @aldist's point. What Hasleo Backup Suite really lacks is a feature similar to Macrium's MIG. However, on the other hand, if someone can freely access your computer, the usefulness of any protection feature would be quite limited.

Are the kind of people that use imaging software the kind of people that are that careless though. I don't think so. Plus, you're counting on someone knowing how to disable the driver. And that's not at all likely.

In fact, simply formatting the drive can destroy all the data, and disabling the driver is also not actually complicated.

You're right. Let's just not have any defenses at all then, and give up and that even attempting to secure your data at all is stupid.

That's a pessimistic way of looking at it, and I think we both know that was never my intention. If my previous comments came across as dismissive, I apologize. Protecting your data is absolutely not foolish, it is essential. Our goal has always been for us to work together to find the most practical and effective solution, rather than resorting to an extreme "all or nothing" choice.

This refers to protection against RansomWare, which can delete, block, or encrypt your backups.
