Hasleo Backup Suite - Access Log files

[kaichandler]

I'm new to Hasleo Backup Suite - but just started using V5.8.2.0 and would like to know where to find the log files please. If I've selected Power Plan = Shutdown, how do I know that the backup completed successfully?

Thanks!

@kaichandler,

Welcome to the Hasleo Forums!

You can launch the Hasleo Backup Suite, and select Tools, then look for "View Logs" in the bottom row, and click it to see how your backup proceeded.

Once again, welcome.  Have a great day.

Regards,
Phil

@kaichandler,

If the backup fails, Hasleo Backup Suite will not perform the power operations you set. In addition, as garioch7 mentioned, you can check the logs to determine whether the backup was successful.

Have a ncie day!

Best regards,

I moved the USB target drive to a socket on the back of the desktop PC and it completed normally. Maybe there was an issue the socket on the front or with the cable. Thank you!

Thanks!  And I just did my first differential backup and successfully mounted it to check that files including those changed since the main backup were included. I'm very impressed so far!

The back panel USB connector is always the best one to use with a USB drive for high-speed, sustained data transfers which is what happens when an image is created or read. It has the shortest run, no cable at all, to the motherboard circuits. A front panel USB connector has a length of cable and is potential source of problems although a good cable to the panel should allow the connection to run without error at the design speeds. No real-life USB connection will provide the advertised maximum rates.
USB hubs, especially non-externally powered ones, should be considered a primary cause if you have a problem.

I fully agree that the back panel USB connector is the best choice, it is usually faster and more stable.
