Feature REQUESTS

[admin]

When trying to to make HBS more portable (using 7-Zip for example), it turns out that process is made much more difficult by the "res" folder being outside of the "bin" folder.  Is there any chance it can be programmed to be inside the "bin" folder... or maybe a test build made available to play with that has this capability.

Thanks in advance for your consideration...

This is certainly possible, but would require some changes to the code and packaging scripts, which would take some time. Why not just zip the parent directory of the bin/res?

The backup feature of the backup software on the market all seem to only back up Windows system related partitions, obviously you can accomplish what you need by creating two backup tasks, but I'll get back to my developers with your suggestion. Thanks.

I understand but Veeam allows you to add additional partition/drives on system backup.
As i said i usually have the OS on a SSD and the DATA of the applications on a HDD.

Currently i use the partition/drive selection of Hasleo instead of system backup.

I see what you mean, however to implement such a feature would require a lot of changes to the code, so we need to think about it carefully. Also we don't have time to finish it now, maybe it will be improved in a future release.

Can we get the dark theme in the WinPE version?

If HBS is using Dark theme when creating the WinPE then the created WinPE uses Dark theme. Do you mean you want to be able to change the theme manually in WinPE?

Right.  But that's when you create the disk in HBS itself.  If you were to take the files located here: C:\Program Files\HBS\bin\WinPE (which is what HBS uses to make the disc) on any other PE/RE disc, then HBS would not make use of the dark theme.  In that case all we have the option for is the white them.  It seems to me that the dark theme files are not included.

In WinPE/WinRE, you can add "ThemeType=Value" to the [Settings] section in "Backup Suite.ini" to specify the default theme type. 
ThemeType=0 Automatic
ThemeType=1 Light
ThemeType=2 Dark

Thanks for the look... I've found another way and it works as I need.

Glad to hear that. So will future versions still need to put the res in the bin directory? Thanks.
