What is it that you need to do with a new tool?  The only thing that I see missing in most is the inability to handle ext<n> Linux-based partitions as far as resizing is concerned.

1. With a built-in dark theme a la HBS.
   
2. With a beautiful nice graphic user interface a la HBS.
   
3. Standalone/portable and OS independent so it may be able to run from a WinRE like HBS does.
   
4. Both separate architectures x64 x86, for example, a WinRE 64-bit cannot run a x86 executable. Note that current HBS can run from a WinRE x64 nicely.
   

Well... I can see you like this vendor

@Jim1cor13, it will restore just fine to a <blank> drive... and, as you said, you can move/resize partitions to your hearts content while doing that process.  It cannot do a DELTA RETSORE under those conditions but most anything else is good to go.  The <blank> disk is nothing more than a canvas to HBS... give it a try on an ext USB device if you have one laying around.

The "Advanced Mode" just offers you more flexibility in partition placement and sizing (eliminates existing gaps, etc.)...

@Jim1cor13, your assumptions are correct... Humpty will be all back together once again

I never used the function, but one can choose to resize, I assume also if restoring to a blank new disk? I am thinking of getting larger SSD drive,
but I have no idea of how to restore an entire disk backup from a 256GB SSD to a new larger 521GB blank SSD drive. I assume I'd just resize the OS partition C and the winre recovery.
