I'm backing up my Windows 11 on a daily basis with grandfather/father/son method. A full backup currently is about 164 GB. Each day there are a few changes on the drive, mostly browsing with MS Edge (temp folder) and other small changes. So in total, the difference for each day is about 2 - 6 GB usually.

Yesterday I did nothing special in comparison. But today (sunday) this first differential backup was made:



Please have a look at the file size. It is huge compared to the other ones, more than a 1/3 of changes compared to the last full backup.

I'm not sure what changed exactly, there was no Windows updates, no Edge update, no other big changes. Still the difference is huge. Could it be that there's a bug somewhere with the detection of file changes?

I don't know if logs will help here, all I can say is that I'm pretty sure I didn't change more than 60 GB of my C: drive in the last 3 days.

Any ideas what could've caused this? I noticed something similar a few days ago when I had mounted my C: drive outside of Windows in Linux Mint, but this was not the case recently.

Maybe there's still a bug somewhere with the detection of changed files?

Hello,
  Does v5 applies ZStandard compression by default on new backups while leaving the previous v4 images with the zlib compression ?

Thank you

Hello!  I'm getting this error message when cloning

Failed to run system API. (0x07F3001502AF0059)

Can someone help me?  I attached my log files

Hi,

got another one with the 5.0 release which does not happen with the 5.0 beta 1.

The job is to backup a directory from a local non-system drive on a Windows 11 24H2 machine.

Logs sent.

Hi,

on some machines with the v5.0 release this error appears after filesystem check and right at start of backup.

No error on those machines when going back to v5.0 beta 1.

No error on other machines with v5.0 release.

In other backup software (Macrium, Acronis) I can set CPU priority in backup options (individually per backup) - usually "low - normal - maximum" values.
But I can't find such settings in Hasleo Backup.

As I can see, by default the backup worker process works with "normal" CPU priority, which is not correct for my server (other tasks are more important and I prefer "low priority").
Where and how can I change this default?

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Hi Hasleo,
On my Dell Latitude 5420 (SSD,UEFI BIOS)
The backup issue only occurred in version 5.0.2:

I tried to search for the answer but could not find it.
What is the correct way to restore a system backup with a differential?

Can you just start to restore the differential then that would automatically look for the full backup to restore first?

or

Restore the full backup separately then restore the differential backup after that?

Thanks
Jeff

I am using Version 4.9.5 on Windows 11 24H2.
These are the steps which lead to a duplicate folder being created on the drive selected to take the backups.

1. Make a System backup. This works fine and a folder with the task name and backup file inside appears on the drive selected.
2. In the list on the Home page of HBS I choose 'Delete' from the Actions menu, but do not select 'Delete Image' as well.

If I then look on the target drive where the backups are being saved I find that a duplicate folder, with exactly the same name, has been created - but with nothing inside it. If I try to delete this duplicate folder, Windows Explorer throws an error - "Could not find this item ... This is no longer located in..."

So the original folder, with the backup file inside is there and can be deleted but the second duplicate folder, with the same name and nothing inside it, cannot be deleted. Why is HBS creating this second duplicate, non-removeable folder?

Otherwise HBS is a fantastic program.

Thanks.
