True Image Home 2011 experience after migrating from TI 2009

Thread needs solution

Hello,
I am an old TI2009 user and recently decided to switch to TI2011. And I must admit, I am very frustrated with what I see.

I used TI for following tasks:
1. Drive images (3-4) with image of new OS and different stages of other software installed. Unscheduled.
2. File backup of my documents and system state (scheduled). One of these with reserve copy option to save copy on USB memory always attached (daily, cleaned old files manually once a month).

The interface had some kind of vertical tabs with backup, restore and other things.
To restore files, I went to restore tab, selected required backup and restored it.
Backups were managed in the backup section with convenient calendar showing future and past runs with result.
That section was divided into scheduled and unscheduled halves. So, I actually had only 3 rows to worry about (file backups).

Now, Ti2011...
Tabs, calendar, etc - gone (wtf?).
Interface that hangs itself without any possibility to interrupt it and user notification (cursor shape).
Interface is actually broken at WinXP (see picture), backup types are no shown correctly (vertical cut). Backup names are not shown fully (I have 15.4" notebook) and there is no horizontal scrollbar (for smth_reserved_copy_date).
System state backups are gone and only be deleted or restored? Better notification is needed to show it.

and finally...
I have a few screens filled with same backups called smth_reserved_copy_2010-mm-dd h:m:s, and I need to scroll down (a lot!) to find other backups. Compare it with 3 rows I had in TI2009.

If you Right click on the "MyBAckup" button, you can delete all tasks or certain groups. Or, you can click on the operations tab and delete individual tasks.

Yes, the 2011 has major changes. Use a partition backup in place of the system state. A full "disk" option backup which includes all partitons is the type of backup which offers the most restore options.
