TrueImage from command-line

Is it possible to start a task from the command-line (batch-file)?

Hello CWBillow,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis True Image

Yes you can create batch file which will execute schedule task. Here are the instructions:

Please create a text document by means of Notepad. Place the following string inside of it:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\TrueImageHomeService.exe" /script:"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts\CURRENT SCRIPT.tib.tis"

3. Find the following path at your computer: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts

4. Find the script that you created just now. Copy the appropriate value (for example, B44A95F2-BA29-43C3-9F88-C2F566E5BCC1) and place it into the Notepad document instead of "CURRENT SCRIPT".

5. Save the file to your desktop and rename it. The file should have .bat extension.

6. Click on the file and check the functionality of Acronis software.

Don't understand this bit.. how do I find such a value in the script ??

 

Hi,

The script in question is already stocked there,in the scripts folder,normally.

 

@Acronis Support: Your solution works fine. To make it perfect - is there a way to force TrueImageMonitor.exe showing the backup progress window, without launching the whole application?
