No you are correct, we should not. But it is annoying none the less.

I don't need the update installed the moment I hit update. Uninstalling/reinstalling avoids errors and conflicts and doesn't take long. It's no big deal for me.

As mentioned before, it is true that it does not take a lot of time. But personally, this is the first software I use on a daily basis, and the only one that updates like that. And it seems I was not the only one, so that is why I wanted to find out.

For me this piece of c..p messed up completely my D partition.On my second laptop i have a 1TB Kingston SSD with 2 partitions,C for Windows and D with my other files. I've made a backup image with Hasleo (a system C backup),and at a certain point i decided to try it and restore the image. After reboot the D partition was gone (windows didn't recognize anymore the partition) and of course all my files were gone. I tried different things to make windows to recognize the D partition that i found on Google,nothing worked. I recovered all my files with a recovery software....i have to mention that i am using Macrium free and Aomei Backupper free for years that NEVER EVER gave this disastrous problem. I will not touch anymore this s..t and stick with my old 2 friends,Macrium and Aomei free.

I had issues with Aomie Pro creating multiple small partitions on C:\ drive & failures on restore which is why I ended up with Macrium, I found out about Hasleo on here & was skeptical (very) to start with & still have Macrium images of my last Windows 11 install - I've used Hasleo for some months now & made many restorations without any problems - I have two SSD drives with six partitions - I think it goes without saying always have multiple backups of all data as things can go wrong whatever solution we use.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Wow, hearing that literally sends a chill down my spine. I had used Hasleo Backup in 2023 if memory serves me right, it was version 3.1, I made a backup of only 1 partition C, because this laptop only had 1 partition at the time I used the HDD. One day I decided to restore the backup image and Hasleo Backup restored it without any problems. But listening to what you said about the D partition is scary, it's already happened to me that I had to restore a deleted partition, but it was my mistake, I messed up where I shouldn't have. But now I do as @Sorrento said, I always backup images with different software, but I've never had to use it because Macrium has been more reliable to date, it's software that has solidified in the market.
I frequently use Hasleo for backups and restores while experimenting with software and Comodo setups. Hasleo has always been reliable, and its Delta restore feature is perfect for regular software testing.

I'm telling you guys,I am not the type of person to bash a software for no reason. I trusted Hasleo, didn't mess in any way with its settings, a plain and simple C Windows partition backup...still don't know what happened and why it messed up completely my D partition.....Thank you for your thoughts!
PS. Sorrento is right, ALWAYS have backups with different programs.

What Hasleo mode did you use to perform the backup and restore? Hasleo partition restore works differently, if memory serves me well.I'm telling you guys,I am not the type of person to bash a software for no reason. I trusted Hasleo, didn't mess in any way with its settings, a plain and simple C Windows partition backup...still don't know what happened and why it messed up completely my D partition.....Thank you for your thoughts!

I'm aware of this possibility - if you use Disk Mode instead of Partition Mode:
"Are you sure you chose Partition mode instead of Disk mode when restoring? The program will destroy all partitions on the destination disk when restoring in Disk mode. Please note that when you choose to restore using Partition mode, only the destination partition will have a yellow background, while when you choose to restore using Disk mode, the background of the entire disk will be yellow. "

That is what VladDracul did, use disk mode. His problem was not a problem of HBS, it was that he did not understand how HBS functions.
But he is of course at liberty to blame HBS for the event.
Yes, this is what I meant with my previous post. I remember reading those posts and the developer's replies. Thanks for the page link. Here are the developer's post links:

If presumably, let's say.... even around 1000 people use HBS actively. And there was an error - where it deletes partitions randomly. Such mistake would kill the software in a week.
Has its own (unusual) way of doing things. Sometimes it helps to read the manual, google or ask around - if unsure (especially with back-up software - where you risk loosing data instead of saving it). But hey, we all make mistakes. Would be nice if others could learn from his - but by design (the way that feature works) - it's quite likely to happen again (for someone). The devs should include "a pop-up Warning Message" - just to be safe.

The first one, System Backup. And I can't replicate and post a screenshot of restoring as I don't have anymore the backup file.

Ok my blame...but again, I didn't see any type of warnings when restoring.
I have C, D, and E partitions. Hasleo system mode selects C with the required boot partitions. I perform restores too with the system mode option and have had no issues. I have not tried other backup and restore modes.
I suppose you did the restore as a routine action, instead of looking at the top bar what really was going to be restored. The would have been a hint.
But i hear you, i did the same mistake - twice. Not happy!
But i still use it, it is a solid product. And the Devs really listen to users, and that fast, so it pays of to post thoughts and idèas on their community forum.

There is no warning (was just saying - it would be nice if that was included - just to be safe, for people who press next -> next... while familiar with the GUI of other back-up tools and the way they do things). In Partition mode - you have 1 Partition selected, while in Disk Mode - you have the all Disk. As the developer mentioned :
"Partition mode, only the destination partition will have a yellow background, while when you choose to restore using Disk mode, the background of the entire disk will be yellow."
