attn Michael Kimmer DI7 -- no "Backup Jobs Tab"!

| Hi, Michael, in case you find this, it's your hopeless old buddy
Travis:
I wanted to delete a Backup Job I had just created in DI7.03. I
went to Help, where I'm told:
"From the advanced view, click the Backup Jobs tab.
Select a backup job from the list box.
Click Tools > Remove Job"
There is no "Backup Jobs tab" in the Advanced View or anywhere
else that I can find.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Many thanks,
Travis (please reply to my email address, stripped of Spam stuff)

I have this tab...
In Advanced View mode I do have a Backup Jobs tab (Drive Image 7.04)

(Btw, did the Symantec ppl. still didn't unlock you for a Drive Image 7.04
download?)

Hi, Michael!
Once I replaced MS Net Framework 1.1 with the older version,
1.0375, DI7.03 displayed itself correctly. I didn't know it was
*incorrect* until prompted for the "Jobs" tab. Nuts, eh?
I stopped pursuing 7.04 after I got 7.03 to recognize and write
to my NEC DVD+RWs. That was a wild goose chase set off by bad
media. (It was Memorex, but branded stuff fails too.) Apparently,
7.04 is in the normal pipeline, and I'm in no rush now that it
all works as it should.
Now if only I could get differential backups from it. Although it
only takes 28 minutes to backup and verify my 20GB worth of
stuff, it seems silly to do a complete image when only maybe 75MB
is changed over the week. I got the Veritas utility onboard XP to
do a "normal" for me the same day I ran my off-site set of DVDs.
I then delete that and run Veritas in differential mode and copy
the result to a CD my wife can store with the offsite DVD image.
I can't think of a better work-around so far.
Best regards!
Travis

Hi Travis!
Just got back from a 1 week trip to France.
Well, it is a fact that Drive Image 7.0x does *not* do differential or
incremental backups.
Drive Image 7.0x has a big(ger) brother that does support this kind of
updating a base (or full) image, called V2i Protector 2.0x (4) Desktop...

Mr. Kimmer told you about V2I Protector Desktop, but please let me
warn you about that product. I own it and have had a great deal of
trouble because of it. Symantec seems to have no interest in fixing
the product now that they have purchased Powerquest. There was a
patch release (to 2.03) which has been removed from their site, as
well as references to the bugs the patch "fixed". The program does
work, however it frequently leaves garbage files on your computer
after a backup and these somehow cause a Blue Screen Of Death on
booting.
You're out of luck if it puts one of those files on a drive not
visible to a Win98 boot disk (NTFS, SATA, some RAID). Your only way
out is to boot from the floppy and delete these vsnap.idx files. Then
your system will boot. If your boot floppy can't "see" the drives,
then it's re-install the system time. After 3 months of working with
Powerquest in Orem, Utah, to get a fix - suddenly Symantec's in charge
and it becomes a "non-problem". I believe they bought it to kill it,
because it was a better product than Norton Ghost. Within the
constraints of the problem I've described, the product does a decent
job. It's your choice as to how much "fun" you can endure to get
incremental backups.
