16.2.2 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 a 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
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:
specifies the backup compression level. Can be
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
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.
