Script Structure; Script Usage Examples - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 9.1 - WORKSTATION User Manual

You can terminate backup operation executed by TrueImageTerminal by pressing Ctrl+B.

15.2.2 Script structure

Scripts are written in the XML language and you can use the following tags:
Source. Specifies the partitions or disks to be imaged. Letters assigned to partitions must be
used without colon. Disk numbers correspond to their system numbers. To create images of
several partitions or disks, use the SOURCE tag for each of them, e.g.:
<source letter ="C" />
<source letter ="D" />
<source disk ="1" />
<source disk ="2" />
Target. Specifies the name and the location of an image file, e.g.:
<target file="E:\Mybackup2.tib" username="username"
password="password" />
username password
and parameters are optional. They are used to access networked
resources.
As a target for the image files you can indicate CD-R/RW or tape drive.
Options. This tag can be used with a number of additional parameters:
Compression: None, Low, Normal, High
specifies the backup compression level. Can be .
Incremental:
specifies if 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 name specified,
it will be replaced without warnings. If equal to "true" (or "1") and there is already a file with
the name specified, an incremental image will be created. Otherwise the program will create
a complete image file. The default value for this parameter is "true".
Description:
adds a description to an image file. The comment must be a single string
(though its length is not limited.)
Split:
splits a large image file into a number of smaller files of the specified size, which can
be provided in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc.
Password:
adds password protection to an image file.

15.2.3 Script usage examples

The following example illustrates the usage of a script to backup two partitions (logical
mybackup2.tib
drives), C and F. is specified as an incremental image file. High compression
level is selected and the image is to be split into 650MB parts for recording to CD-R/RW
media. Password protection will also be added. The entire script must be located between
<backup> <backup/>
the and tags.
<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
