 The following command will restore the MBR from partition image D1 to the hard disk 1:

trueimagecmd --deploy_mbr --filename:/usr/backups/D1.tib --harddisk:1

 The following command will export the "archive1" archive from the root folder to the new

archive named "archive2" in the "exported" folder:

trueimagecmd --export --vault:/ --arc:archive1 --target_vault:/exported \

--target_arc:archive2

 The following command will export the "archive1" archive from managed vault "vault10" to the

network share:

trueimagecmd --export --vault:bsp://StorageNode/vault10 --arc:archive1 \

--net_src_user:username --net_src_password:password \

--target_vault:smb://server/exported --target_arc:archive2 \

--net_user:username --net_password:password

 The following command will export the "archive1" archive from the network share to the

"exported" folder:

trueimagecmd --export --vault:smb://server/backups/ --arc:archive1 \

--target_vault:/exported --target_arc:archive2 --net_src_user:username \

--net_src_password:password

2.2 Automatic image creation using cron service

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 the --list command to obtain the necessary partition number:

Disk 1:

1-1 hda1 Pri,Act 31.35 MB 26.67 MB FAT16

Table Table

1-2 hda5 980.5 MB Linux Swap

1-3 hda6 4.887 GB 135.9 MB Ext2

1-4 hda7 9.767 GB 1.751 GB Ext2

1-5 hda8 3.462 GB 1.3 GB Ext2

Disk 2:

2-1 (/1) hdd1 Pri,Act 4.806 GB 4.627 GB Ext3

Table Table

2-2 hdd5 3 GB 1.319 GB Ext3

2-3 hdd6 3.906 GB Ext3

You need to back up partition 2-1. Let’s suppose a complete image has to be created weekly,

supported by incremental images created daily.

To do this, place the respective executable files (e.g. trueimage.cron) into /etc/cron.daily and

/etc/cron.weekly folders.

To initiate weekly creation of a complete image of partition 2-1, add the following line to the above

file:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/trueimagecmd --create --partition:2-1 \

--filename:/mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib
