Filters

[billmcct]

Is there any way to save the filter list. I add about 30 filters each time I backup
but HBS deletes them when closing. I need a way to save them because I use the same filters every time.

@billmcct,

Welcome to the Hasleo Forum.

Based on discussions previously on this Forum, the Hasleo Team has made it an upcoming priority for a future version upgrade to add a "Global Settings" option that will apply to all future backup jobs.  I think that filters might be included in that new option.

If so, there would be no need to also have an option to export and import filter settings, which would be a bit more work for the user than having their copy of HBS "remember" their filters in the future "Global Settings option.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

Do you delete that backup job after you finished your backup?

Normally you would keep the backup job on your "Home" tab and just click on "Backup" the next time you want to do another backup.
That way filters should be kept, together with the job itself, because everything is saved in that job profile directly.

Also: If you boot from a WinPE rescue image instead and create a new backup from there, that job will be gone the next time you boot from WinPE again.

@al3x,

Some people, like myself, like to create a new backup job for every system image.  My post was referring to that future enhancement of HBS to save my settings globally, if I want.

Your advice is very sound and applicable for those users/customers who simply want to repeat a backup job.  I had not thought of that; hence, the reason for my post.  I am regrettably always looking through the lens of how I do things. 

Thank you for your insight.  I have learned something new today.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

I will saved it as a job and see?
