    The planed tasks are really difficult to find in the TI 11 version. Is there any possibility to start a backup or a previously planned task by only one click? (E.g. by some command line arguments.)

    You can do it from within ATI, but you'd have to first launch ATI and then run the backup task. You might want to do as I did. I used Vista's Task Scheduler and some other tinkering to run ATI backups by just launching a shortcut. (You can launch a shortcut and other icons via single click if that's the preference you've chosen in Windows. Otherwise it would be double-click.)

    You can find full details in my thread:
    Vista - Standard user needs to run ATI Tasks without admin password - how?

    Hi tuttle!
    Thanks for your reply. Can you please tell me how you created this batch file? My customer is using windows XP so he should have no problem with the user rights.
    thanks

    In the method I finally used, described in that thread, no batch files were needed. It relies on manually launching, via shortcut, Task Scheduler tasks.

    I have tried this syntax, but when I call it on the command line,True Image opens but nothing happens.

    Is there something else to do?

    1. I suggest that you copy (Ctrl C) each path from Windows Explorer and paste it into your shortcut to avoid keying errors.
    2. I see a typo in your path: "Aconis", which should likely be "Acronis".
    3. As per my instructions in the other thread, you need to launch TrueImageHomeService.exe and not TrueImage.exe.

    OMG Thats' it.
    The missing R was just a copy and past error when I wrote the post.
    I've excuted the wrong file. It must be the service.

    The right command is: (with German Windows XP)
    Thank you for your help.
