Chapter 14. Command-line mode and
scripting
Acronis True Image Server supports the command-line mode and enables backup
automation by executing XML scripts.
The command-line mode functionality is somewhat limited as compared to the GUI mode.
You will not be able to perform operations that require reboot of the system, such as restore
a system partition or clone system drive. These operations can be done through the GUI
only.
As for scripting, it is intended only for backup.
14.1 Working in the command-line mode
An administrator might need a console interface in some situations. Acronis True Image
Server supports this mode with TrueImageCmd.exe utility. The file is located in a folder
where Acronis True Image Server has been installed, by default it is
C:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImageServer.
14.1.1 Supported commands
TrueImageCmd has the following format:
trueimagecmd /command /option1 /option2…
Commands may be accompanied with options. Some options are common for most
trueimagecmd commands, other are specific for individual commands. Below is a list of
supported commands and compatible options.
