What works for me

It has been established by many for one reason or another, that TIH 2010.6029 is problematic. It may be issues with Windows 7, or additionally in my case it could be my twin HDD Intel Matrix Storage Console 7.5, as my PC crashes dead on backup requiring a full restore. Or if you are lucky a fix from Windows 7 rescue disk. Either way you have to wait over an hour for the twin disk to fix errors etc. Or you can dump the twin disk and restore - quicker using earlier TIH 11 made backups.

It is difficult to get fault details when there has been a crash. I managed to go back to 2010.5055 where trials of backups and restores seem to work OK but later I have found irregularities with incremental backups which cannot be relied on. 2010.6053 seems no better than 6029. The only way I can get reliable backups and restores is with TIH 11.0 8101 which I have been using for a few years on Windows XP SP3 and seems quite happy on Windows 7.

The only good aspect with TIH 2010.6029 is the usb bootable media which works OK with 11.0 8101 and restores what used to take over an hour in about 15 minutes. The only problem (known by others) is you need a usb mouse if you are using a wireless keyboard/mouse like Logitech Dinovo Edge which is not an issue with TIH 2010.5055.

Just a mention of Disk Director 10. I have had no issues with version 2160. I get an instant problem with 2239 which prohibits installation on Windows 7. Probably just as well.

I found Revo Uninstaller worked when I had difficulties getting rid of 2010. It will be interesting if proper working fixes ever come out especially as Windows 7 seems to be here to stay.
