15.2 Scripting

15.2.1 Script execution parameters

Scripts are executed by the TrueImageTerminal.exe utility located in the Acronis True
Image Echo
Files\Acronis\TrueImageEchoServer). This utility is also used to monitor backup progress.
TrueImageTerminal execution parameters:
TrueImageTerminal.exe [arguments]
Arguments include the following:
/help – outputs help information about TrueImageTerminal.exe parameters.
/progress – outputs progress of backup operations run either from Acronis True Image
Echo Server graphics user interface, or from the script.
/execute: [script file name] – executes a script. If there are several scripts to be
executed, they are queued. An example for executing MyBackup.tis script:
TrueImageTerminal.exe /execute:C:\MyBackup.tis
/nowait – an

TrueImageTerminal /execute:C:\MyBackup.tis /nowait
By pressing Ctrl+C you can force backup progress output off and switch

You can terminate backup operation executed by TrueImageTerminal by pressing
Ctrl+B.
