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 image creation 

and restoration operations (with some limitations). Trueimagecmd also enables you to 

automate image creation with ‘

cron’

 service. 

 

Note that trueimagecmd doesn’t support partition resizing at image restoration neither creating images 
on CD-R/RW or tapes. 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.

Trueimagecmd supports the following commands: 

 

Creates an image file with the specified file name. A complete image is created by default. 
Use the --incremental option to create an incremental image. 

 

Restores a disk/partition from the specified image file. 

 

Lists available devices and partitions if no --filename specified. With --filename lists the 

archive content. 

 

Shows usage. 

Trueimagecmd supports the following command options: 

-- filename:filename

Sets the image file name. Trueimagecmd transparently supports NFS and Samba network 

access. To access a NFS network drive, specify the image file name as follows: 

nfs://hostname/share name:/remote filename
