@michaelreed, @al3x,
Now many computers have BitLocker encryption enabled on the Windows partition by default. If you perform a backup under WinPE, these partitions are in a locked state, and Hasleo Backup Suite can only back up in sector-by-sector mode. During restoration, since the partition is still encrypted, Hasleo Backup Suite cannot modify the data in the operating system partition to match the restored partition, resulting in the system being unable to boot.
In addition, if the Windows partition is not unlocked under WinPE, HBS cannot even recognize the operating system, making it impossible to perform a system backup.
Therefore, we do not recommend performing backups under WinPE. WinPE should primarily be used for restoration operations.
Best regards,
