    Hi ryan,
    The "database disk image" it refers to is the internal data store used by the graphical user interface.

    To remove this and start with a clean data store, perform the following steps:

    * Make sure the SQL Backup GUI is shut down.
    * Navigate to the directory : C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Red Gate\SQL Backup\Server Data - where <user name> is the name of the user that is experiencing the problems.
    * Remove all the files in the directory (which should be .dat) - if you want to keep hold of them you can move them to another directory (as long as that directory is empty).
    * Start the SQL Backup GUI again, it should now recreate the data store, and pull in data from the servers again... this may take a few minutes to complete if you have a lot of activity history.

    Hope that helps,
    Jason
