Compression

Incremental
specifies whether you need to create an incremental image file. If equal to "false" (or "0"), a
complete image file will be created. If there is already a file with the specified name, it will be
replaced without warnings. If equal to "true" (or "1") and there is already a file with the specified
name, an incremental image will be created. Otherwise the program will create a complete
image file. The default value for this parameter is "true".
Description

limited.)

in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc.

Script usage examples

The following example illustrates the usage of a script to back up two partitions (logical drives), C and
F. mybackup2.tib is specified as an incremental image file. High compression level is selected and the
image will be split into 650-MB parts for recording to CD-R/RW media. Password protection will also
be added. The entire script must be located between the <backup> and </backup> tags.
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<backup>
<source letter ="c" />
<source letter ="f" />
<target file="e:\mybackup2.tib" />
<options compression="high" incremental="true" description="this is my backup"
split="650 Mb" password="" />
</backup>
The script for backing up to tape (tapeN specifies the tape numbers):
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<backup>
<source letter ="c" />
<source letter ="f" />
<target cdrw="\taperecorder\\\.\tape0|||" />
<target cdrw="\taperecorder\\\.\tape1|||" />
<options compression="high" incremental="true"
description="this is my backup" />
</backup>
