Either operation saves the machine's logical volume structure to the /etc/Acronis directory. Make
sure that the volume with this directory is selected for backup.
2.8.4
Selecting logical volumes and MD devices in command line
Let's assume that the system has four physical disks: Disk 1, Disk 2, Disk 3 and Disk 4.
A RAID-1 volume is configured on two basic volumes: sdb1, sdd1
A logical volume is configured on two basic volumes: sdb2, sdd2
Disk 1 includes Acronis Secure Zone, which normally is not backed up.
A list of a volumes can be obtained with the following command:
trueimagecmd --list

The logical volume, DYN1, occupies basic volumes 2-2 and 4-2. The RAID-1 volume, DYN2, occupies
basic volumes 2-1 and 4-1.
To back up the logical DYN1 volume, run the following command (here, the name of the backup is
assumed to be /home/backup.tib):
trueimagecmd --partition:dyn1 --filename:/home/backup.tib --create
To back up the RAID-1 volume DYN2, run the following command:
trueimagecmd --partition:dyn2 --filename:/home/backup.tib --create
To back up all three hard disks with volumes, select the volumes 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, DYN1 and DYN2:
