IBM Rapide restore Ultra (Access IBM- Rescue & Recovery)

It works fine for me, better than Ghost and is coming free with the notebook. I made two backup's, will keep the last one, but how to delete the previous one? The "Help" doesn't say nothing?

You select "Backup Now" of course and there is an option to delete backups on the backup screen . Similar to clicking "Start" to shut down your computer. It makes perfect sense.

The first backup should have been a Base or full system backup. The second should have been an incremental - just the differences since you made the base. You can't delete the Base without deleting the incremental as well, and then you'll need to do another Base. You can delete incrementals, but if you have say four incremental and you want to delete the first one, you need to delete the three later ones as well.

You'll see all this when you try to delete a backup - as soon as you select one the others that are invalidated are automatically selected. So if you select the Base all the incrementals will be selected as well.

....this is "Rapid restore Ultra Ver. 4.0 - I don't have this "delete" option. I search the FAQ on IBM.com and I found something like: First make copy of your backup then you can safely delete it. I didn't try that yet.
