Chapter 11. Console Mode; Backup, Restore And Other Operations In The Console Mode (Trueimagecmd); Supported Commands - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE 9.1 - FOR LINUX User Manual

Console mode
Chapter 11.
Console is a natural part of Linux OS. Acronis True Image Server for Linux supports it
through the trueimagecmd command line tool. It provides a way to initiate data backup
and recovery operations. Trueimagecmd also enables you to automate backup with '
service.
The trueimagecmd functionality is somewhat limited as compared to the GUI mode.
trueimagecmd does not support operations that require reboot of the system, such as
restore a system partition or clone system drive. Therefore, under complex conditions, we
recommend that you use the more powerful trueimage operating mode under X Window
System.
Another useful tool, trueimagemnt, allows you to extract files or directories from images
by mounting images as if they were Linux kernel block devices. See also man
trueimagecmd or man trueimagemnt.
