11.2.2 Script structure

Scripts are written in XML language and you can use the following tags:
Source: Specifies 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 entire 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 name and location of an image file, e.g.:
<target file-"E\Mybackup2.tib" username="username"
password="password"/>
username
networked resources.
As a target for image files you can indicate CD-R/RW or tape drive.
Options. This tag can be used with a number of additional parameters:
Compression: specifies backup compression level. Can be None,
Normal, High.
Incremental: specifies if you need to create an incremental image file. If equal to
"false" (or "0"), the complete image file will be created. If there's already a file
with the name specified, it will be replaced without warnings. If equal to "true"
(or "1") and there's 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.
