I have been using this for a good 6 months now, and it has already saved me from losing important work! I installed and configured a USB drive on my router so all the computers on the network have access (many of them have this feature) to this backup drive. I have 3 computers that I backup, all of them have a system partition (Windows 10/11), and at least one other partition/drive for data. I do separate System backups and File backups. I use the scheduling option to perform a full backup monthly, and a weekly incremental backups. I also encrypt the backups, and setup a Google SMTP account to send backup status emails after each backup. Took me a while to get it all working, but it is working great!
Thanks for posting this!! The old phrase of computing for me was "your computer is as good as your last backup" but I'm an old dude now, so things change (but I don't think that much). Very timely software for me with 24H2 update for W11. Love to see how you check valid system backup. In AIX/Unix we had a utility to verify boot-strap record and .config file, as well as certain filesystems were valid on the backup. A backup is not any good if you can't restore from it. Thank you again for your expertise.
Thank you Brian. I’d like to see a full system backup and the steps needed to restore that system backup should the need arise, I. E. The system SSD fails and you’ve installed a new one, and now want to restore to the new system drive. Also, if I want to increase my system drive from 500GB to 2TB, how can I do that with this software? Those 2 items would be great with a bit more explanations. Thanks again!
@@regwatson2017 and you are too easily pissed 😂 bro relax we need these channels for discovering things, what if someone creates the best software ever but we never heard of it.. sorry my English but you have the idea, greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
As I watched your video this morning Brian, I'm struck by the resemblance of the GUI to earlier versions of Acronis 11, or 2014, etc. back before they cluttered it up with too many "features" making it hard to just do the simple task of backup / restore. Anybody else have a sense of deja vu watching this review? I'm going to try Hasleo for myself. I've been using Acronis 2020 on 3 machines, and I can't say I'm as happy with it as I was with the earlier, simpler versions. Thanks mate!
I ditched Acronis for the same reasons. I still have a copy of the free Macrium Reflect before it was no longer available, so I'm good to go for quite some time yet.
Looks great. What is the download speed when backing up the system? I found AEOMI to be very slow compared to Macrium which I have used for years. Currently my Macrium displays 1gbs plus when doing a full backup. ADD: I installed and ran it. Happy to say the the speed to complete a FULL system backup was 10 minutes. This is faster than Macrium by 2 minutes. Made the emergency disk and it works great. The funny thing is that NO files actually show on the USB drive after creating it. I booted to it and somehow it booted into the Hasleo utility. Thanks for the video.
Note that it adds two background processes to your Task Manager which if you later decide to delete them it stops the program from working until you next reboot the computer and those two processes will be back.
I backup to my NAS and at least 2 detachable USB drives. I don't worry about the OS. My PC died recently. I bought a new one and a laptop (my old one also died, leaving me with only a tablet and smartphone). The transition was relatively painless. Some of my stuff is on a OneDrive, as a final back stop. I can never have enough security, having once lost my dissertation on UMRCC, curse them!
More please. Is there an option in the backups, I suppose incremental one, where if I deleted a file, would it take that out of the backup next time, like mirror backups. Cheers Brian.
I got a question here, I am still new to the program. If your going to do a disk clone, does this clone, not just the windows os itself, but all the files that was previously installed on the source drive as well? Also, lets say I need to, for whatever reason, to re-install windows, which option do I use to recover everything? So if I happen to re-install windows, this program will have the option to restore everything that I had once before? If that's the case, this program will save tons of time re-installing everything. If I have a backed up image, and windows was re-installed, will this recover everything to where it was originally? Now far as cloning goes, which option do I use to recover everything, including OS as well? System clone or disk clone? I don't normally use these programs.
I am using AOMEI at the moment but I might give this software a try as I think it is so simple to follow and it has that clone option which I have been meaning to do a clone of my current hard drive for some time now. One thing, Brian I always do a disk backup is that better than a system backup? Now as for the content of the video mate keep them coming as you have guided me over many years with your tutorials😉One showing how to restore a crashed system would be great!!
Restoring is the point! I'll pick an empty SSD, removing the other one and restore! Otherwise-what I am doing in a real crash and the restore is not working?
Have a look at Free File Sync. I use it to back up from one VeraCrypt container to another, each mounted as drives. At the end of each session, I routinely dismount and copy these containers to attached massive USB drives and to my NAS, as well as to 2x onboard SSDs. Once a month, I backup to 2 x 2Tb USB drives, which are small by today's standards. Having lost precious data 40 years ago on UMRCC I can be accused of being obsessively protective of my data. I don't care.
After using Macrium for years I decided to go with Hasleo. My PC has 3 drives, C: (windows) being Samsung 980 NVME M.2 SSD and two other older Western Digital HDD's. For backup I use another Samsung 980 NVME M.2 SSD, externally connected using an adapter similar to the Sabrent enclosure which I use to clone the internal SSD. The older HDD's are imaged to another externally connected Samsung HDD. Being externally connected I can keep them off site. Downloaded and installed the Hasleo. That is when I found the Hasleo won't do a clone to an external drive connected via USB port. It will do images.
Does the clone disk to another disk option work with linux filesystems like ext4? Does it allow for intelligent sector copy in addition to sector by sector?
I'm not even going to get into all the problems I had when I tried to use this before. Worked 1 time... that's it, 1 time and then it wouldn't work anymore unless I upgraded to the paid version. Ran into a bunch of bugs along the way too. But honestly, windows includes an image maker to backup files, folders, partitions or entire drives. It's free, it's in the old control panel..... and amazingly..... MS hasn't inserted ads into it yet lol. Seriously though it works fine, it's fast, and it's free. And it's easy to restore an image either through the same control panel setting again or through windows recovery environment.
@@loadi2865 Yep, always a catch. Anything made by Hasleo or EaseUS will have limited functionality and will eventually sooner or later refuse to work at all unless you buy the paid version. The free versions are there just to get you hooked and used to using the software then they spring the paywall on you to make you pay to keep being able to use it. Which is why I still to this day use windows own built in imaging program to make system backups and images. No catches or paywalls there and it's easy to restore stuff from the windows recovery environment if you absolutely have to.
Thanks for that Brian, free software in this space is pretty thin. Have you come across a genuinely free partition manager in the style of the Hasleo offering? That area is also pretty thin when it comes to Windows based genuinely free. I am sure viewers would be interested in a video on that should something emerge.
Thanks for this, I have been using Macrium for years to make regular images of all my Windows machines. Do you know if this can backup Mac OS partitions as well? Currently I boot to a portable Windows using Ventoy and then use R-Drive Image to backup my Mac machines, I know I can use Time machine but I like having complete disk images available for disaster recovery.
For me I use usb bootable HiroCD. Mostly their backup and clone software included in their are free. U can also pick which software that will be easy for u to use.
Also remember it is not back up if the data is just in one location. You should have it both the cloud such as OneDrive or GoogleDrive and backed up on an external drive
I used Acronis from about 2003, and watched it become bloatware. It was tragic. I only wanted to protect my files and, in the early days, my OS. I still have a licence, but I now dislike the package. I've been making do with Free File Sync, and VeraCrypt containers for work/personal files, which I dismount and backup to my NAS and detachable drives.
Hi you must have read my mind. The only software that I am using is Paragon and I am only interested by disk cloning as my backup. The issue that I have I am not able to use to bootable USB for Paragon and I have not found another software tha I can create a bootable USB in case of an emergency and copy the disk copy to my computer in case of a major issue. Can you help on how to create a bootable disk to be able to restore a copy disk?
I have been trying to find something that works on the new ARM laptops. Tried this one, but was not successfull. Has anyone found one that definitely works. Currently, Im using the old windows 7 backup instead.
Bro, are you kidding me? I am literally cloning my boot drive as we speak/type and searched for 30 minutes for a free cloning program because for some reason Samsung magician wouldn't clone my 980 Pro to my new 990 Pro. This is crazy. I should have just checked my YT notifications lol.
Can we know what Samsung Magician (8.0?) threw as error message? My issue with Samsung data migration/cloning is that it didn't clone the Sony recovery partition. But that was 10 years ago. Now their latest Magician software does not even support my old SSD.
This software has good features and is easy to use, but you cannot backup photos or any other documents like it. I use EaseUS Data for now. I only ran into this video for the reason that I'm looking for a better software.
What's the point in making this video without (at least) introducing briefly the difference between incremental, differential and full backups? Many people out there have no idea what they are.
Anyways, if you make an image of your hard drive, complete with all partitions, then you can easily restore that to a SSD. They both work the same. And at least with Macrium reflect you can also shrink partitions when you restore them to make them fit on a smaller drive.
People need to start getting educated on terminology. SATA is an SSD, in some cases. I think you meant a SATA HDD to a SATA SSD, or a SATA SSD to an M.2 SSD, or some combination.
Really? That sucks. I just bought a USB3 to SATA cable for my 2.5" SSD. My old external 2.5" drive enclosure has become slightly dodgy for important tasks like cloning. 😅
i love your videos but i can't get your videos some videos you say don't use free software and then you make videos with free software all free software is not good to use they have trackers and bugs in them i own a computer repair and build bizz ness i have people bring me there computer with free software that mess up there systems FREE SOFTWARE SHOULD NOT BE FREE

I'd always advise imaging or cloning a system disk with standalone/bootable software rather than from within Windows itself, much more reliable.
not if the restore option is in dual boot with Windows
Yes please can please do video of this full features on this software thank you Brian. Steve b

Brian, Why can't you continue to use older (FREE) backup software like Macrum Reflect to create new backups and clones?
