Feature REQUESTS

[admin]

Not sure if this is a bug, future request, or working as expected.

The target for some backups is a folder on a network connected PC that is accessed over wi-fi. Running from the Emergency (USB or Windows Boot) with the wi-fi network connected from the PE Network Manager, the File Manager is able to logon and access that PC. But the Network is not an option from the Browse Image to Restore or the Target for a new backup.

An existing backup job can access the remote folder but it would not be possible to create a new backup job and point to that network folder.

Thank you for your feedback. The behavior you described may be related to the limited network access capabilities in the WinPE environment. At this point, I’m not sure whether this is a bug or working as expected (given the stripped-down nature of WinPE). However, I will make a note of this issue and do my best to improve it or provide a viable workaround in a future release. Thanks.

I feel it would be nice to allow users to select another drive to store the Windows PE/RE files on instead of having them in the Hasleo program directory.
This would  potentially save you from having to image gigabytes of data that you really do not need to image.
Macrium has a section where you can select a different drive to store the files on for rescue media.

@Zombo,

Welcome to the Hasleo Forums.  That is an interesting suggestion.

I know that you can save the recovery .OPE file to a location of your choice.  I do so because I do not want it to possibly "disappear" when a new version of the Hasleo Backup Suite installs.  You can refer to this HBS FAQs Topic post.

The @admin of the Hasleo Forums is a Hasleo Team member, and is very active here daily in the Hasleo Forums.  I am confident that your proposal will merit a response.

Have a great day, and welcome again to the Hasleo Forums.

Regards,
Phil

Dear Zombo,

Thank you for your suggestion!

We fully understand that you would like to store Windows PE/RE files on another drive to avoid backing up unnecessary data, this is indeed a very practical improvement.

However, due to our current limited human resources, our development focus remains on the implementation and improvement of core features: backup, restore, and clone. Smaller details like the interface improvement or the custom storage path you mentioned will be documented and considered in future versions.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Best regards,

The HBS Home window shows all the created or imported Tasks, but they seem to be in random order. This is not a show-stopper but it would be nice to have an option to sort them by type (System, Partition, of File), Task name, or next scheduled backup date.

How 'bout just drag'n'drop... that way users can list them anyway they wish.

Thank you all for your suggestions, improvements will be made in the future.

The upcoming "Sort tasks according to your needs" icon and feature is nice. Would like to see "Next backup" added as one of the options.

What does 'Next backup' mean?

[Bespoken]

Next backup time. The main screen shows just "Next backup:" for each Task. This would be in addition to the "Last Backup Time", and the other selections.
