In my case it was a bug re faster CPU's in CPBackup which was fixed 
by getting the patch files - interestingly the patch files are dated 
about 1.5 months after the release date on the PCTools for Dos9 ones 
-presumably the problem came to light very quickly. I was e-mailed it 
but I think it can be got via FTP from ftp.symantec.com
