Well, you could call it FileSynchronization, I call it FileCloning, because such a feature clones all files from a source to a target location, just like DiskClone clones all blocks of a source disk to a target disk.
Programs like e.g. FreeFileSync to me are not very handy to be honest. It should be simpler, like creating a clone job for a partition or disk and ArcServe at those time did a fantastic job. Unfortunately this feature was removed iirc.

I use robocopy daily. It's an awesome CL tool that is very powerful, if you know how to use it. There is also the built-in xcopy, which is also very good. The point being, there is no point in reinventing the wheel.

As I already said, I know Robocopy and XCopy, I am an MS-DOS guy and started with Home Computers in the 80s. That's not the point and don't always argue in that direction. Here we talk about things that will be done in a company and not everybody has the same knowledge or skill level and would like to use command line tools instead of a handy GUI that can do the same.

To the Admins:
I noticed you decided to support Windows 10 Enterprise IoT in the free version. Does this also include Windows 10 Enterprise 2021 LTSC and Windows 11 Enterprise? The Evaluation versions of Windows 10 or better 11 are often used for tests. I understand that you no longer want to support Server editions, but to make difference in client versions really is not awesome!
I would have recommended Hasleo Backup Suite for our server infrastructure long ago, if you would create a solid software, but I had so many different problems cloning partitions with ReFS on different server editions that were skipped, that I decided to wait longer for a more mature product.
I must admit that Hasleo Backup Suite did an awesome job on my personal Windows 10 Enterprise system, also during restores of full system partitions, but since Enterprise clients are no longer supported, I decided to switch to an alternative product.
What I also don't like is the fact, that you let expire existing software versions.
As long as this doesn't change and Hasleo Backup Suite is so unstable and buggy using the software on physical server systems with underlying hardware RAID-storage, I need to look for an alternative.
We only look for a stable cloning and imaging software for physical server systems (always using hardware RAIDs) and of course a File Cloning application that's solid and handy to use via a GUI.
I really like Hasleo's GUI and it has potential, but I cannot recommend this software in our company as long as it has so many bugs. I did this long ago with AOMEI Technician variant, that one was also full of bugs and useless in the end.
I need to emphasize that we have a very big virtualization infrastructure where this software is of course not used, I am only talking about physical Windows server systems.
Another quick note, never ever decide to overload the GUI of Hasleo Backup Suite with advertisement to bug users. I appreciate that this software is free for personal use and most of the time users who like a specific software they use on their personl systems in their companies but as soon as you have the impression the software is shareware like and you need to click away pop up windows recommending you to upgrade the software, the first thing I do is removing the software completely.
Think about it.
Regards,
Marcy
