After successfully completing 2 "one time backup"s, I attempted a 3rd "one time backup" on a 3rd logical drive. The back up never completed with progress stuck at 1%. Closing out of Ghost, rebooting, and reopening Ghost days later and the status line across the bottom of any Ghost window indicates "Creating recovery point"..."1%". How can I kill the recovery point operation?

Jim,
As I understand the operation, when you create a 'one time backup' the starting point is a recovery point. Without it Ghost cannot restore the backup correctly. If you 'kill' the recovery point creation operation you will effectively kill the Ghost backup operation.
I bit more information about your system, its configuration and what you are trying to accomplish will help us provide better responses.
Thanks
Dick,
I used the Ghost 15 One Time Backup (OTB) utility twice to separately backup two different drives. I attempted to do an OTB a third time to back up a 3rd drive. After starting the OTB, the backup hung at 1% and never completed. Since then anytime Ghost is restarted I’m presented with the Status Line message “Creating Recovery Point …1%”. Under the Advanced Tab\ View\Progress and Performance, the window advises “File ‘R:\Norton Backups\jhm-2007_L_Drive.v2i’ already exists. Is it OK to overwrite this file? “. However, the window does not provide me the means to respond.
I’ve tried rebooting as well as stopping and restarting the Ghost agent but Ghost remains hung up. How do I respond to the message question?

Jim,
You have just gone beyond my ability to respond - I do not know the answer to that one. I'm hoping one of the 'real' Ghost experets will jump in and provide you with the means to resolve your problem
Sorry
Dick
Thank you for taking your time. But remember...No good deed shall go unpunished.

This sounds like the problem I am having with Ghost 10 (!) on an incremental backup. Does Task Manager show VProSvc taking all your CPU and ticking up memory? Does Ghost work if you define a new backup on another partition? See my complete post on July 22, 2012 for more things to try that may not work :(
Lee310,
The program was hung on that Backup. I couldn't go back or forward.
I gave up the fight and R&R'd Ghost and an hour later was up and running again. As with past Ghost problems R&R was time effective. I wish Ghost came with a Modify/Repair/Remove Install Utility.
