Where is the Plus Pack functionality of backing up to a virtual machine image?

Thread needs solution

I took advantage of the $14.99 offer to install the Plus Pack, because I wanted the functionality to backup and restore on different hardware, particularly to back up my computer to a Virtual Machine that I could run on another computer. Well after installing the Plus Pack, I don't see the new functionality anywhere.

Hmm... Good question. I have a sneaking suspicion I may feel silly if someone pipes up with an answer though.

I've also noticed that my hardware RAID device using a GPT (partition table) is greyed out on the "Disk Backup" window when in disk mode as opposed to partition mode, though I can clone partitions from that device. I just can't clone the disk. The more I think about it, though, the more I remember reading that imaging a drive utilizing a GUID partition table is not supported with PP, though cloning individual partitions to a backup file is? Can't remember for sure though.

I think I found it. In theory, you can take any backup and then when you go to restore it, you check off the "Use Universal Restore" check box. I don't know how to use it yet, but there it is.
