Their method of solving the SYSTEM backup issue is not solid when it comes to DISK/PARTITION backup. I believe they need to sit down and come up with a different method that can be applied to ANY of their backup options as far as geometry changes are concerned.
I couldn't agree more. It's a same old story though. Micro Windows Group create an unbalance for software developers to either have to work around or completely start from scratch again. HASLEO has been running too smooth for awhile so MS Windows bunch throws another wrench in the machine AGAIN. I'm confident the HBS DEVS will work it out eventually, but as you point out @TheRollbackFrog, it might not be sufficient for the DISK/PARTITION feature. But that CHANGE OF GEOMETRY issue really needs be studied hard and a code for the program to SAFELY adapt for when it occurs.
They are seriously considering a fix as I type, but based on their statements, they don't quite have the whole picture yet (or they don't use the right words in their offered fix)... they will . I'll keep ya posted...
Well i definitely found myself caught flatfooted on 1, and only the one VITAL system where things bluescreened with the missed mismatch. I have since torched those bad incs/diff's as though they never happened. Lesson learned. I haven't performed much in depth partition shifting's and other maneuvers outside the main C:\ partition which holds the bulk of our usage but after this more attention and experimenting locally is in order. Because the way windows group update devs can seriously affect our backups like this demand it anymore. I just happened to have an August full AND series of incrementals which recovered my system quite nicely. The silver lining on my end is that i finally have made use of HASLEO BACKUP SUITE'S file/folder feature in which i've now begun to utilize across platforms and drives to safekeep desktop elements in event of whenever necessary.
Hasleo Backup Suite V5.4.2.4 Released! What's new in this version: 1. Added support for backing up BitLocker drives with hardware-based encryption 2. Fixed an issue where file filtering did not work as expected 3. Fixed an issue that caused changing the task folder to fail 4. Fixed other minor bugs Here are the download links: https://www.easyuefi.com/forums/thread-846-page-31.html
@TheRollbackFrog Sir, do you, or anybody else know if this update fixes the problem cited above? Not knowing should be a deal breaker for anybody who solely relies on it. I use MR 8.1 and FreeFileSync for redundancy but won't be using Hasleo again until I get confirmation of a fix from a reliable source.
@AlphaOne - v5.4.2.4 does not fix the most recent anomaly concerning geometry changes during DISK/PARTITION backups. The previous release, v5.4.2.3 did offer a fix for the same anomaly during SYSTEM backups only.
Was that removed from this version or still working? I assume System fix is still a GO. But that aside here comes the real problem. On recreating yet another new ER UFD anyone know yet, is if the newly created HBS Emergency Disk will even work? Since we now have the MS UEFI Secure boot DBX/KEK/DB Firmware ordeal which won't boot if HBS boot UFD isn't been EQUALLY UPDATED and modified to MATCH the updated Secure Boot MS Firmware certificate being widely discussed right now. Microsoft strictly mentions bootable recovery media will be adversely affected if recovery vendors still use 2011 CA instead of 2023 CA A useful good tool to check. I confirmed my own systems with it. The .CMD command line scripts worked best for me not powershell. https://github.com/cjee21/Check-UEFISecureBootVariables EVENT ID:1037 . https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb...e-events-37e47cf8-608b-4a87-8175-bdead630eb69
