Hasleo Backup Suite

Wow, I'm having a really bad hair day here (not enough coffee for sure )

In Hasleo's MOUNT window there is also an UnMount button next to the Mount button. If you click on that, it will show you all the mounted devices that it has mounted for you. Just select the one you want removed and hit "Proceed."

 

...and another thing

Be careful using the v4.8beta... during my testing I've discovered excessive image checking time (if it even completed) when doing MANUAL imaging operations (and probably SCHEDULED ops as well). My testing went from about 5-10 seconds using the v4.5r to many minutes before I issued my CANCEL operation using v4.8b (it's been reported in their Forum). Just a heads-up if you're testing...

 

@pb1 - In addition to my comment above, it does make sense to not have a BROWSE button when you've issued a MOUNT operation after selecting a specific task... what you're finding above. Only images from that task are being offered using the "Change version" LINK.

When issuing a MOUNT from the "Tools" area, there is no context for the task so it's offering you the ability to pick your own image from the FileExplorer, which may be from any task.

 

I noticed the mistake but also knew what you meant so... .

 

Yes that makes sense. It also makes sense to have it at both places as a conveniance, less jumping around.

 

Hasleo Devs say they cannot reproduce the above anomaly (I sure can )... we're working on it.

 

There's definitely an issue with the CheckImage function of v4.8b only... and it appears to be related to the length of the image chain being worked with.

On my W10 test System, the chain runs from 85-89 images. Under the standard v4.5r, the "Quick Image Check" takes appx. 8-sec... under v4.8b, that same function doesn't even complete in 12-min (did a CANCEL at that point).

On a separate W11 System, using only a 2-image chain (FULL + INC), the same function goes from <1-sec to appx. 9-secs and actually completes the operation, no hang.

If you're playing with v4.8b, be diligent and report any issues either on Hasleo's Forum or directly to their SUPPORT at <Support@EasyUefi.com>.

 

Hasleo responded this AM with an updated BETA... all is well in HasleoLand once again. After careful testing, item #3 in their ChangeLog for the BETA, Improved the performance of checking image files, has indeed improved the CompleteCheckImage function (for me it's about twice as fast). The QuickCheckImage function remains as before (very quick).

These Devs are excellent at responding to issues... with either RELEASE or BETA versions!

 

You Sir, is for sure going to get at least 1 free license when it gets to be a paid product.

All this work you do with them is not only for you own sake but for all of us, so - good work.

 

If the FREE version remains as powerful as it is, whenever they do make that decision... I don't think I'll even need the PAID version (unless it makes my coffee and dresses me in the morning )

This is a simple non-convoluted product which is perfect for the "general" user who's not looking for a complicated UI. High end users may not like the simplicity, but that's what makes this product as easy as it is to use. Yes, it looks a bit different then the product many users currently use, but that's usually the case with all new products in this category... every Developer thinks they can do better than those that preceded them.

I love the competition... and the results of such

 

First of all, I'm not a Sir... I'm a Frog. Second, why do I do it... it's simple. The Hasleo development team is a private group and very small and has offered an excellent initial product in the File/Disk imaging and backup area. No, they can't yet afford to supply a team of Regression Testers or a huge group to perform scripted testing so the product is placed out there for FREE to see how the general user community might like it. Having been part of more formal BETA testing teams in the past with other imaging and backup products, I felt I could contribute to their effort... to see if their product could be improved. So far the collaboration has proven to be very productive.

No, I can't test everything for them in a timely manner (I have a life as well), but I can assist them when I feel they might need some help... this is what I do. No, I'm not part of any "ofishul" Hasleo BETA team, I just test their product(s) as much as I can to assist them with their hopefully eventual success. They have been very responsive to my discovered issues so I believe they see me as a real help with their development efforts. Hopefully the unofficial collaboration can continue with their Backup Suite... I really do like that product.

...AND I work CHEAP as hell

 

For those that wish to "play," Hasleo has just posted the updated BETA reference on their Forum, HERE... test carefully.

 

I'm actually a little more attentive recently than before... on 01April, at the beginning of my final 2-mo test phase, I switched my PRIMARY imaging app (Macrium REFLECT) with my secondary at the time (Hasleo Backup Suite).

I'm watching it very carefully at the moment...

 

Yes Sir, i mean - Mr Frog.

Regarding your post #1060, that is what i like also with this product, the simplicity and ease of use. Anyone can understand it. And there is something about the form and colour to.

It must be getting near the end now and reaching end of development since it is rather complete, it`s not much that it lacks. If anything. As for the rest of your post, i know your standing in relation to them, as others in the thread, we read and follow with interest. And gratefulness. But mostly to HBS for this great product.

My humble and simple reflection, as i have told them twice, is that they should make the 10sec waiting after having restored a backup - optional. For a beginner it has it uses, but now when one is acustomed to this app, it is just annoying waiting time. Telling them a third time may do it, when it has getting nearer finalization.
I am sure i am not alone in this reflection.

 

I'm not sure what your 10-sec waiting is in reference to. If it's the 8-10 seconds from when you close the Emergency Disk to when your System actually reBOOTs, that's mainly a WinPE structure issue (probably a network shutdown issue which it also has with certain network startups)... nothing to do with the HBS app itself. They can probably "restructure" the WinPE shutdown stuff but they choose to use a vanilla WinPE offering to do their Emergency Disk build rather than customize that WinPE for their use... at least at this stage of their development.

If it's another 10-sec delay, I'd love to hear about it (when and where in their UI?)...

...and yeah, you're probably alone (the reBOOT time doesn't bother me at all... and at my age the 10-sec does mean a lot)

 

The 10 sec red text countdown to restart, or shutdown, at the bottom of the UI after completed restore, in, for instance, the UI in the emergency disk.
Just annoying and very unnecessary. An option to inactivate that is what i have mentioned to them.

At your age? So you are the guy in the boat then, huh.

 

Sometimes... although Internet access out there can be troublesome.

 

HBS is getting really, really, good! I'm testing it out now as my primary imaging app. It restored an image that even IFW v4 couldn't do; the resulting restoration wasn't able to boot. I do wish there was more information given during restore in terms of what was going on and speed. The last 3-4 seconds on a cold restore, according to HBS estimates 45-ish, took seconds in real time. I'd like to know why.

 

The team is super fast at fixing bugs, reported a bug to them and the very next day they released a beta with a fix

 

Are you guys finding the current beta to be stable and reliable?

 

I believe it's the last BETA in this version cycle. The bugs discovered were dealt with in a timely manner. I expect v4.8 release to be out shortly... it's feature frozen at the moment.

 

Completely and absolutely stable here. 4.8 has been wonderful. There are features I'd wish they'd add, but given the financial constraints of a free product, it's very good.
