Scheduled Manual FULL Image after Disk Geometry Change

[Gork]

It would be necessary if the geometry changed on a selected partition (as opposed to a full disk) when an INC or a DIF backup was scheduled because a FULL backup would be required.  Without a FULL in this scenario one of two things would happen:  1) One would not be able to restore from the resulting INC/DIF; or 2) HBS would error out and no backup would be made.  As @Froggie has stated, in this case a FULL needs to be created (a new chain started) so unattended backups don't just stop.

If it does cover the partial selected partition case, The CheckBox description should state... "Always backup SELECTED partitions"

Hasleo Backu Suite will always back up the selected partitions under any circumstances, so this seems unnecessary.

My problem is it didn't do that with v5.4.2.3.  If you're saying it will do that with v5.4.2.3 I will be happy to test again, but the original DISK/PARTITION task definition did have those partitions selected... they disappeared from the image after the geometry change.  What you're saying is that's not supposed to happen with v5.4.2.3... or it won't happen after your suggested fix (I'm a bit confused here).  Pls explain...

In V5.4.2.3, we have only made improvements to the system backup feature, which will automatically select the new partition after changes occur in the operating system-related partitions (System, boot and recovery partition).

For Disk/Partition backups, starting from version V1 to V5.4.2.3, if the geometry of the partition changes, HBS will prompt an error indicating that the partition could not be found. If you did not receive this error message after changing the partition's geometry, please provide us with detailed steps to reproduce the issue.

Thanks.

My problem with Disk/Partition backups only prompting an error is that if I'm nowhere near the computer for a few days, or a few weeks, and the geometry changes on partitions which are not included in the "system backup feature" then backups just stop. I don't want backups to stop, even on non system partitions. I want a new full created automatically so that the backups will continue running automatically.

So, if I have Windows installed on Drive A, and Data saved on Drive B and I create a schedule to run a FULL on both drives on day 1 of the month and INCREMENTALS on all other days of the month... Then the geometry of Drive A changed on day 12, I want the software to change the scheduled INCREMENTAL on day 13 to a FULL and continue with a new chain with INCREMENTALS through the end of the month.

Same goes if I created the same schedule for only Drive B. Even though it only contains only personal data, if the geometry changes for whatever reason, I would want a new FULL to start when a scheduled INCREMENTAL cannot be completed due to the geometry change. It is extremely important to me that my backups continue to run automatically without intervention in these cases.
