Perhaps an .ini file in the bin or a sub directory so that the file path could be changed as needed?
Update 3/3/25 - Please be aware that I do not have Hasleo Backup Suite installed on my pc - I prefer that my backup software be on removable media to save space on my internal drive. This afternoon, I created recovery media and booted from the latest beta version and noticed that this build has the import/export task feature, like the installed version. This allowed me to create a task, execute it and at the end, export the task to a storage area - I partitioned off a 5mb chunk (formatted as FAT) at the end of the recovery USB and stored it there as task.xml. After rebooting, I simply imported the task and was good to go - I did an incremental to test the process and it retained my settings (allow comments..., check the integrity...). Recovery of the images was also successful. This method also worked on a portable version of the program. Yay!!
I also support the idea to keep the TaskConfig file in the program's bin folder to keep its portability. Or allow the users to customize the location of this file.
It seems that everyone has different ideas, maybe being able to configure it is the best option, and we will improve it in future releases.
