Sets image type to incremental. If there is no a basic image file to append an incremental 
one, a complete image will be created. 

--split:size in MB

With --create, states that the image must be split into multiple files of the specified size 
(in Mb). 

 

Use this option to create an image of a disk (partition) with unrecognized or unsupported file 

system. This will copy disk/partition contents sector-by-sector. 

--type:active|primary|logical

Specifies the type of the partition to be restored. 

--password:password

 

Protects an image with a password, while created, and specifies the image password, while 
restored. 

--serial-key:serial key

 

Specifies the Acronis True Image Server for Linux serial key. Note that you must enter any 
command, --list, for example, along with the --serial-key (see example in 2.2).  

•  This will list available partitions: 

trueimagecmd --list 

•  This will create an image named backup.tib of partition 1-1: 

trueimagecmd --partition:1-1 --filename:backup.tib \ 

--create 

•  This will create an incremental image of the partition above: 

trueimagecmd --partition:1-1 --filename:backup.tib \ 

--create --incremental 

•  This will restore a partition from backup.tib: 

trueimagecmd --partition:1-1 --filename:backup.tib \ 

--restore 

As a rule, disk/partition images are created regularly, often daily. To automate this 

operation, you can use the cron service familiar to many UNIX users. 

As an example, let’s consider a situation where you (the system administrator) need to back 

up one or more disk partitions regularly. 

Use --list to obtain the necessary partition number:
