After installing and creating the one Basic Image and a months worth of multiple Incrementals, thought it might be wise to generate a new BaseImage from which future Incrementals would be based.
DiskImage provides two options:
Merge the Incrementals to produce a new BaseImage - which does not seem to be wise?
Produce a Base image from scratch. However, that proved to be difficult.
A Help search didn't provide a solution.
Laplink Chat suggested:
Start Page->Imaging-> but the source drives could not be selected (grayed out) because they were in use.
Restart/boot from the DiscImage install CD - which did produce a new Base Image, not a viable PRODUCTION solution?
ONCE on initial launch of DiskImage from StartPage->One-Click Image got a dialog box with an option to create a BaseImage - but since have not been able to re-produce that.
If you are able to produce a new BaseImage, you need to delete then create a New Job, being sure to specify the location of the new BaseImage and Incremental files.
The Report XML file are huge (good for developer debugging - but not great for Production software) which slows down everything, and have not found a way to delete the older Report XML files.
All in all believe the underlying software is sound BUT the GUI is a challenge!
