Acronis True Image Server User's Guide
Scripting and schedul
Edit allows to change any task parameters. This is performed in the same way as
creation with two exceptions.
First, there will be specified parameters instead of the default, so you won't have to
enter them again.
Second, after you make changes you will be asked about execution order. I.e. you
will be able to change image creation parameters like location without touching its
execution periodicity and time (though you can change it as well.)
If you want to change only periodicity and time, select Schedule. At that you will
have to perform only scheduling steps leaving image settings the same.
9.3. Scripting
9.3.1 Introduction
Besides the standard GUI version, Acronis True Image Server is offered as a purely
console software.
It's located in the Acronis True Image Server installation folder and is named ti-
demon.exe. The console provides only images creation features.
After starting, the program does not ask any further questions of the user, other
then giving hints such as "Insert a new CD-R/DVD" when backing-up or restoring
to/from a CD/DVD. If any error should occur, it is written to a log-file.
9.3.2 Usage
You should run ti-demon.exe with the /script parameter providing the script file
name, e.g.:
TI-DEMON.EXE /SCRIPT:MYSCRIPT.TIS
You can use both scripts created in the complete version of Acronis True Image
Server, and written specially for the console version. Writing scripts you won't be
able to specify image protection passwords (as they are stored encrypted) and
create entire disk images.
The script execution log can be browsed in the complete version of Acronis True
Image Server.
9.3.3 Structure of the script file
Script file has a XML structure.
Here is the sample script file:
<?XML VERSION="1.0" ENCODING="UTF-8" ?>
<BACKUP>
<SOURCE LETTER="F" />
