Hi,

I have done a system backup of c: drive which contains everything except my media files which are on E:

Most of my documents are in Dropbox and are saved directly in a Dropbox folder C:\Users\admin1\Dropbox\Documents

But when I look at the backup image using Restore>Browse Image to Restore>File Mode

I can see Users>admin1 but do not see the Dropbox folder, I think everything else is there in the backup, normal document folder for example but the Dropbox folders are not.

Obviously they are backed up to the cloud with Dropbox anyway, but why can't I see the local copy? Thanks

I have a SSD with multiple partitions on it:

1. EFI partition
2. Windows 10 system partition
3. large Data partition
4. Recovery partition

In the past I gave Hasleo Backup Suite a try and performed a System Backup of partitions 1 + 2 + 4 but not 3
I store the .dbi file on partition 3 beside all my other stuff like videos, photos and more.

Now I have exactly the situation that I need to use and restore this image file.
So I booted Hasleo Backup Suite from USB flash drive and tried to restore the HBS image.

Much to my surprise HBS forces me to enable "Advanced" to specify what exactly to restore.
Why does HBS not auto-recognize the 3 previously backupped partitions in *.dbi archive?

Even worse: When I enabled "Advanced" Mode HBS informs me that I can only restore full disks in "Free" version but not a subset of partitions.

What is this?
very bad

Assume I copy the .dbi archive to an external USB flash drive and restore it from there:
Does that really mean that if I restore the full disk from external .dbi then partition 3 will be destroyed?
I cannot believe this

Normally "free" versions of imaging tools restrict backup (!) process (like no encryption) but allow FULL (!) restore.
HBS "Free" is completely useless since restore is not possible in scenarios like mine.
This restriction should be mentioned in a central location before persuade users to evaluate HBS.

Thank goodness I performed an Acronis Trueimage backup in the past too.
So I was save.

How can I switch the GUI language from english to another language (e.g. german)?

I found no option/menu

I am a legitimate ltsc user and I just found out that I can no longer create recovery media/emergency disk. Why the hell was this removed. Hasleo was the best imaging tool I have used and it was putting macrium reflect to shame, but now I am unable to create a boot disk for data recovery. At least they've removed the expiry date but why on earth did you remove the iso creation tool

I also can't create a boot menu!!! How am I supposed to use this thing?

For context, I am a single PC, NON commercial user who happens to be running the Enterprise version of Windows (like a lot of people who run it for personal use). I had a major crash tonight, and when I went to restore I was met with the message stating that my version is no longer supported. Honestly, Hasleo has been a pretty decent software up until this change, but this was a real shock to me, and the timing couldn't have been worse. I guess shame on me for not keeping up on the terms/changes, but I never would have expected that.

I genuinely thank your team for the software experience up until this change, but since I am not using this software in any commercial capacity whatsoever, I do not believe I should have to pay for the license all of a sudden. If I actually had money I would gladly donate to you guys.

Why is delta restore not working when restoring to bitlocker encrypted drive.  It automatically does a full restore in windows re even if I leave delta restore checked when initiating restore from windows. After restore bitlocker is automatically disabled and I must encrypt the drive again.

Being nosy: when creating an OS backup, HBS creates the folder mentioned above, and keeps it even when the backup is finished. What is this folder needed for?

Thanks.

Hello all,

inside DiskCloneService.exe I've seen a reference to DiskCloneUtils.exe but I was unable to find this executable among those installed by current/latest Disk Clone v5.6.2.0.

Any idea why ? Could anyone be so kind to tell me something more about it ?

P.S.  I have a Professional license. 0:-)

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Hello all,

could anyone please be so kind to give me a definitive confirmation that Disk Clone fast cloning also indeed properly manage a fully complete and exact copy of disk signature (for MBR disks), disk GUID, & partition GUIDs (for GPT disks) ?

I'm indeed already expecting this to happen properly, but this weird doubt came to my mind after carefully reading following sentence excerpted from page '[Solved] How to Clone a Disk to Another SSD/HDD Sector by Sector' :
"Fast cloning only copies the sectors containing data from the source disk to the destination disk, making the process very fast. In contrast, sector-by-sector cloning copies all sectors on the source disk, one by one, to the destination disk. As a result, the destination disk is an exact copy of the source disk after the successful cloning, including the disk signature for MBR disks, disk GUID, and partition GUIDs for GPT disks. If you are worried that fast cloning may cause data loss, sector-by-sector cloning is your best option."
Because of above wording it may, unfortunately, even seem that "... disk signature for MBR disks, disk GUID, and partition GUIDs for GPT disks." might just be included in the cloning process only when sector-by-sector is the chosen cloning method, "...in contrast..." with what instead fast cloning copies (since it "...only copies the sectors containing data from the source disk to the destination disk.").

P.S. I know that by asking to have such additional clarification I may a little look like I'm playing devil's advocate, but I believe that above message is not so fully crystal clear as it should instead be, and so I'd like to suggest to also add there a little clarification that might possibly avoid anyone else to have a doubt similar to the one I had.   0:-) 

Many thanks in advance for your so kind attention.

Best Regards

Hi,

Just update to version 5.6.2.0 to confirm what I am about to describe still exists in the latest version.

I made a Disk/Partition backup and selected whole disk. The disk includes partition which has volume letter D. Backup itself finishes without errors.

Next I choose restore, then select task to restore, and select the backup task I just created. I click Next. I switch to the File mode. I select root folder and set the restore to -location as C:\. The backup inclues some files with very long path and file names. Those do not restore successfully. For example:
