Delete Image automation Process

[Delete_Image_au]

1 -I need to know what is the object used to remove images from BESR7 for a VBscript.
    I have searched the automation docs and there is no reference.
    eg. v2iAuto.RemoveImage(oCurrentJob.ID)

2- If possible also where to retrive the  recovery counts for the backup sets
    eg. where is it coming from, eg. xml file , etc.

Thank you

If you have not already done so, you may want to look at the example script files located on the product CD; currently Symantec Technical support does not offer assistance in scripting. As for your second question the XML formatted *.SV2i file located in the same sub-directory as the recovery point image set is where the count is stored and it is this file that gets invoked to determine if a new base or incremental update is to be formed.

David,
1- yes I have been there and the 4 examples does not give reference to what I want.
    also, to let you know, out way of automating the entire BESR process is fully automated by vbs, since backup         runs and DR restores.
    backline has told me that if in any instances(whatever that many it is) of the backup fail, and is not able to update     a log (whatever it is) BESR will keep history of images until is really sure to remove/consolidate them.
    I searched the entire html reference for a clue to how to remove/delete the IMAGES not the job(s)
    Is there anyone out there that knows the function?

2- If you could be more specific as to what child should I be looking for would be great.
    i have been to all xml files before and expanded them all looking for a clue and nothing.
    I have now gone to the one you mentioned again and looked very closely to each key/parameter/child, etc and     cannot find any hint to the counts, and this counts should be obvious to find as I have far too many (10, 22, 28,     etc) since  we should have a maximun 6 for the week incremental run.

thank you again
