Hallo Hasleo,
I want to change the destination folder, usually on a monthly basis, for my daily backups. But when I go go Home>File Backup->Actions->edit  The destination folder is disabled.
How can I do that?

I'd like to schedule a full backup to be done once a week (say on Monday) and incremental backups all other days. I didn't have any problem setting up the full backup, but I'm having a problem with the incrementals. I defined a new backup job with Incremental being the default backup method. HOWEVER, when that job ran it generated a FULL backup! I suspect the problem is that this second backup job did not see the original, full backup. Do I need to change the Task name for the incremental backup job to be the same as that used for the full backup? (Perhaps there is some detailed documentation on how to set up a backup schedule similar to the one that I've outlined above?)

One other point: Is there an option to suspend the system after a backup has completed? That option is available in Macrium Reflect, and I find it very useful...

Thanks,
Wayne

I recently installed Hasleo Backup Suite on an older Toshiba notebook system and had no trouble making an initial system backup onto a USB-connected external HDD. I then made an Emergency USB recovery disk and it boot fine AS LONG AS THE USB BACKUP DISK IS NOT CONNECTED. If the backup disk IS connected, the emergency USB disk will not boot - it flashes for a few seconds and then the notebook screen just shows a flashing cursor at the top left of the screen. (There is no error message.) Clearly, this isn't a good situation since I can't do a a system restore if the backup disk isn't available! Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Wayne

Installation mode legacy does not appear in the choice menu...Why ???????
 
I tried every thing but I only loose time and money on your wintousb...
Does not seem to work at all...
Please refund !!!!!!!!!!!

Just noticed that after some extensive (powered) testing in this area, Event triggering fails (or stops working in its entirety) when the testing laptop is ON BATTERY and not on AC ADAPTER.

If not by design, maybe this is a bug (it seems to be undocumented in the appropriate manual section).

If by design... can an option CheckBox be made available in the Event Trigger window to control this activity (would like to do "low power" <battery> operations)?

Any help, greatly appreciated...

Much like the post here:

which unfortunately does not appear to be responded to, I wanted to create a Grandfather, Father, Son backup scheme.

However, I started with trying Father Son first.

For clarity, Grandfather, Father, Son backs are something like this:
   1 full back up monthly
   differential backups weekly
   incremental backups daily

What I tried to start with was:
   1 full backup weekly
   incremental backups daily

What I got however was:
   1 full backup on day 1 (as expected)
   1 incremental backup, slightly larger than the prior days full backup, on day 2 (not as expected)

Of note, I did this with two schedules, one for the full backup weekly on Sundays, and one for the daily backups on (Monday - Saturday)

Also, the two schedules result in backups going to separate sub-directories, as I can't seem to specify the same directory for both in the settings.

A solution might be to do a post backup move, but it appears that is what @Dinar did in the post referenced above, but to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated

Why do you have a separate app called Hasleo Disk Clone?  All of its features are already integrated in Hasleo Backup Suite? Do you plan on discontinuing the Hasleo Disk Clone app?

What version of Windows is WinPE based on by default?

Currently the merge strategy seems to be: create a new file with all the data of the merged files combined, then delete the obsolete files.

This doesn't scale.

Example: a full backup using 51% of the available backup space. Merging any incremental backup with this is not possible, as the aforementioned method would occupy 51% twice during the merge operation.

A solution to this dilemma is non-trivial (and I don't know anything about the backup file format).

One strategy I could imagine: "melt" the older backup into the newer file. Say a full backup and an increment shall be merged:

• Mark the full backup file as "incomplete, use increment file for restore if selected"
  
• Read a chunk from the end of the full backup file
  
• Append all the data from that chunk which isn't obsolete as a new chunk to the increment file
  
• Truncate the full backup file to a new size, freeing exactly the copied chunk
  

• Mark the increment file as "incomplete, use full backup file for restore if selected"
  
• Read a chunk from the end of the increment file
  
• Append all the data from that chunk to the full backup file
  
• Truncate the increment file, freeing exactly the copied chunk
  

• Read a chunk from the full backup file
  
• If it contains obsolete data, copy and append to the end of the full backup file, discarding the obsolete data, and punch a hole at the old location
