If you don't have any issues with the WinRE created ISO, you should be fine... make sure you test that Emergency Disk. It's bigger than the MS downloaded WinPE mainly 'cause it contains most of the non-standard drivers your System needs (WiFi, special devices, etc... most not needed for basic imaging/restoration on same System). The recent WinRE problem caused by MS was painful for a lot of users... but rare. Hopefully they learned something.
@mantra - you may ask anything you wish Their Delta Restore feature was tested heavily by me during their v4 BETA process... I was not able to break it (tried lots of weird stuff). Their process is also a bit faster than the equivalent Macrium REFLECT process. The HASLEO Corp name is actually registered in the US, but the development team is from China. They are also the same team that has developed all the original EasyUEFI applications. Some of their software is PAID for commercial licenses only, most is actually FREE. They say the only reason they do that is that they need some sort of predictable income to continue doing all this other type of development. They have been asked if this software will remain FREE, their answer was that a commercial version may come along sometime in the future and at that time, they'll decide cost. At the moment, it hasn't even been discussed internally. Other than things like MIG and CBT with REFLECT, this version of their program is pretty powerful and very useful. Even in discussions with them, I haven't been able to determine what kind of roadmap they have for HBS. I know that during their recent development phase (Dec22-Dec23), almost every user requested feature has been added along the way (most probably not even aware of in their own discussions). They are a very active and very responsive Development team... a pleasure to work with so far. I would advise... just play. After some initial testing back aways, due to its success I made it my main secondary imaging System, and with the release of v4, was able to duplicate my Macrium REFLECT backup structure completely, including all my GFS-type scheduling and image retention features. Other than CBT (which doesn't really buy me much), both Systems are running in lockstep.
@TheRollbackFrog Hi in the homepage there is changed secotors only about China , just because soon it will be paid thanks mate!
The thing that keeps me from using it is a lack of Hasleo dark theme. I don't use the defaut windows theme, so for me Hasleo's gui is unreadable.
Neither Terabytes programs nor Drive Snapshot have one, actually I haven't seen one, so how do you image your drives?
There's really no issue with either of those program, as none use a gui with a white background like Hasleo. Drive Snapshot uses the same dark grey background they always have and Terabyte's IFW did in fact get a gui upgrade not too long ago which plays nice with dark themes. Ofcourse, IFW has an extensive cli, so there's always that.
From testing it, one thing I can see that's missing is the ability to mount an image from explorer. That way you can mount an image without having to go through their gui steps. It's just faster and more convenient. Other than that, it seems to be a free Reflect-esque product. It even has delta restoring, for free!
@n8chavez - FYI, Hasleo contains a very basic CLI as well (not as extensive as IFW)... I used it and Powershell to do a rudimentary GFS type of image mgmt/retention scheme prior to its proper development in v4.
Hi @TheRollbackFrog After a quick exchange in the Hasleo forum, they sent me today a new version 4.0 build Dec-12-23 that solved my problem. I remain amazed at the seriousness and speed with which they addressed this "rare" and, for them, marginal problem. Thanks again.
Basically, that's one of the pitches I've been making here in Wilders... the Hasleo Development team has been very responsive, not only to problems but also to features. Which reminds me... @n8chavez - I mentioned your need for a Dark Mode, or at least a good contrasting mode in their UI. Their response follows... HBS Forum Admin: Ok, thank you very much for your suggestion, if this doesn't take too much time we will implement it as soon as possible.
Something like that, yeah. Look at the high contrast theme of Macrium orange. It isn't blinding with all the brightness of a white background. I also asked them if they could implement an explorer.exe image mounting system. I was told they could not, because of MS certification costs. Then I suggested something similar to Terabyte's TBIView, which can open an image from explorer but not mount the image as a virtual drive, as a means to not have to open an image through the main gui. I was told they would look in to that.
@TheRollbackFrog Hi may i ask you is the rescue boot linux or winpe? and restore sectory only is avaible on under winpe ,innit? thanks
Rwscue Media is WinPE-based. I'm not sure what you mean by "restore sectory," but HBS has implemented a Delta Restore function that only restores disk clusters that have changed on the disk since the last image.
I noticed a D519D51B249349f38D79D76488950CB5.EXC file after the setup finished installing HBS. It's in the root of C:
Never saw such a thing (with about 30-installations under my belt)... don't even know what a EXC file is.
Thanks @stapp I don't like HBS putting any file or files in my drives or partitions or any other software either. I've always loved neat and clean systems especially mine.
Sorry, but 35 pages to read are too much; I want get a try with Hasleo Backup because I have some problems with AOMEI, as I posted in the related thread. About Hasleo I only want know: it's possible to do a restore of C partition backup from Windows, without use the WinPE rescue media ?
