TrueImageTerminal /execute:C:\MyBackup.tis /nowait

By pressing Ctrl+C you can force backup progress output off and switch

You can terminate backup operation executed by TrueImageTerminal by pressing Ctrl+B.

14.2.2 Script structure

Scripts are written in the XML language and you can use the following tags:

Source. Specifies the partitions or disks to be imaged. Letters assigned to partitions must be

used without colon. Disk numbers correspond to their system numbers. To create images of

several partitions or disks, use the SOURCE tag for each of them, e.g.:

Target. Specifies the name and the location of an image file, e.g.:

<target file=“E:\Mybackup2.tib” username=”username”

password=”password” />

username

and

password

parameters are optional. They are used to access networked

resources.

As a target for the image files you can indicate CD-R/RW or tape drive.

Options. This tag can be used with a number of additional parameters:

Compression:

specifies the backup compression level. Can be

None, Low, Normal, High

Incremental:

specifies whether you need to create an incremental image file. If equal to

”false” (or “0”), a full image file will be created. If there is already a file with the name

specified, it will be replaced without warnings. If equal to “true” (or “1”) and there is already

a file with the name specified, an incremental image will be created. Otherwise the program

will create a full image file. The default value for this parameter is “true”.

Description:

adds a description to an image file. The comment must be a single string

(though its length is not limited.)

Split:

splits a large image file into a number of smaller files of the specified size, which can

be provided in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc.

Password:

adds password protection to an image file.
