15.2 Scripting
15.2.1 Script execution parameters
Scripts are executed by the TrueImageTerminal.exe utility located in the Acronis True
Image Enterprise Server installation folder (i.e. C:\Program
Files\Acronis\TrueImageEnterprise). 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
Enterprise 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 optional script execution argument. Enables to terminate TrueImageTerminal
before backup is finished. Example:
TrueImageTerminal /execute:C:\MyBackup.tis /nowait
By pressing Ctrl+C you can force backup progress output off and switch
TrueImageTerminal to background operation.
You can terminate backup operation executed by TrueImageTerminal by pressing Ctrl+B.
15.2.2 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 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
and
password
parameters are optional. They are used to access networked
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:
