2.1.3 Specific options

2.1.3.1

create

harddisk:[disk number]

Specifies the numbers of the hard disks to be imaged (comma separated). For example:

--harddisk:1,3

You can obtain the list of available hard disks using the --list command.

partition:[partition number]

Specifies the partitions to include into the image file by numbers. The list of available partitions is
provided by the --list command. Partition numbers are specified as <disk number>-<partition
number>, e.g.:

--partition:1-1,1-2,3-1

raw

Use this option to create an image of a disk (partition) with an unrecognized or unsupported file
system. This will copy all disk/partition contents sector-by-sector. Without this option only the
sectors containing useful system and user data are imaged (for the supported file systems).

progress:[on | off]

Shows/hides the progress information (percent completed). It is shown by default.

exclude_names:[names]

Specifies files and folders to be excluded from the backup (comma separated). Object names have to
be specified relative to the objects' partitions root entry.

For example, if "boot" partition is mounted to the /boot directory and it is necessary to exclude the
"grub" directory from a backup, then it must be specified as /grub/. If this directory is located on a
root partition, then /boot/grub/ should be specified to exclude it from the backup.

exclude_masks:[masks]

Applies masks to select files to be excluded from the backup. Use the common Linux masking rules.
For example, to exclude all files with extension .sh, add *.sh. My???.sh will exclude all .sh files with
names consisting of five symbols and starting with "my".

exclude_hidden

Excludes all hidden files from the backup.

In Linux, a file is considered hidden if the first symbol in the file name is a dot.

before:[pre-data capture command]

Enables to define the command to be automatically executed before data capture.
