2012 plus pack
This is probably a dumb question, but here goes. I've been using ati home since version 8.0. Now I've got 2012. I also purchased the 2012 plus pack. I did that after my computer crapped out and had to install new harddrive and before that cpu, motherboard and a new video card. Kind of late huh? Anyway, my question is: I made a bootable cd after I installed 2012 home. Then I installed the 2012 plus pack and made another bootable cd after I installed it. Just to reinstall my backup of c:\ drive, all I need to do is boot using the ati 2012 home bootable cd I made, right? I assume that one is for the original enviroment and the other is for hardware changes that have been made. Am I correct?

So I have the option not to use the universal restore option? If I needed to restore my hard drive to a previous state, say because of a virus, I could boot from the cd I made from ati 2012 home edition and then restore my operating system to a state of the last backup? The universal restore is only if you've had to replace say a mother board or hard drive. Right? With the original configuration just using the bootable cd I made for ati 2012 home software would suffice. Right? As you see I'm trying to figure out which cd I need to boot into since there are two, one for ati 2012 home and one for ati 2012 plus pack.

In most cases, yes. Another reason to use Plus Pack is to create a WinPE bootable Rescue disk, if the regular Linux-based Rescue disk can't recognize some of your hardware.

That's some of the problem. The disk controller drivers and the chipset drivers. The hdd drivers I can get, the others I don't know about. I mean I won't know what I need unless something happens to the mb or hdd. Then I'll have to rely on the cd that they furnish. Will it load from a cd-rom?

Find out. Boot from the Linux-based Rescue disk, select a backup and restore a couple of files from it. If that works, then you can have good confidence that the Rescue disk will work if you ever need to restore an entire system image.

I'm scared. Looking in the log files I noticed that I had an error message that said configuration file not found and cannot be created. The backup was successful and it validated ok. I also noticed that the error message was posted between 5-10 minutes after the backup was made. Would this interfere with a successful entire system image restore? I'm not scheduling any tasks, just opening ati and doing a manual full backup and later an incremental, then delete all and doing a full backup. One full, one incremental then delete all and full backup again.
