Howto extract data from incomplete Powerquest 2vi Backup

Hello @ all,

In 2004 I backed up a system with (I suppose) Drive Image 4 by Powerquest, knowing I will have to restore this image some years later. The Software created 11 cd-rom size backup parts + one s2vi file . 10 of them are in good state ("name_s01-s10.2vi" + "name.s2vi file"). The 1st part, "name.v2i" is missing.
The content of "name.s2vi" is pointing to, of course, the missing file.

Reinstalling "Drive Image" and testing "Symantec System Recovery 2013 R2" brought me the information, that an extraction of the incomplete backup would not be possible ... Some tried (de-)packager aren't able to andle the data format.

Is there really no way to extract the remaining data as mentioned here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH223999?
I would really appreciate to recover as much as possible of the backed up files.

Thank you,
Stefan
