Acronis true image server 7.0 Manuale Utente

Acronis True Image Server User’s Guide 

Scripting and schedul 

 

Edit allows to change any task parameters. This is performed in the same way as 
creation with two exceptions. 

First, there will be specified parameters instead of the default, so you won't have to 
enter them again. 

Second, after you make changes you will be asked about execution order. I.e. you 
will be able to change image creation parameters like location without touching its 
execution periodicity and time (though you can change it as well.) 

If you want to change only periodicity and time, select Schedule. At that you will 
have to perform only scheduling steps leaving image settings the same. 

Besides the standard GUI version, Acronis True Image Server is offered as a purely 
console software. 

It's located in the Acronis True Image Server installation folder and is named ti-
demon.exe. The console provides only images creation features. 

After starting, the program does not ask any further questions of the user, other 
then giving hints such as "Insert a new CD-R/DVD" when backing-up or restoring 
to/from a CD/DVD. If any error should occur, it is written to a log-file. 

You should run ti-demon.exe with the /script parameter providing the script file 
name, e.g.: 

TI-DEMON.EXE /SCRIPT:MYSCRIPT.TIS 

You can use both scripts created in the complete version of Acronis True Image 
Server, and written specially for the console version. Writing scripts you won't be 
able to specify image protection passwords (as they are stored encrypted) and 
create entire disk images. 

The script execution log can be browsed in the complete version of Acronis True 
Image Server. 

Script file has a XML structure. 

Here is the sample script file: 

<?XML VERSION="1.0" ENCODING="UTF-8" ?> 

<BACKUP> 

<SOURCE LETTER="F" />
