Incremental Rotate Scripts for "Image for Windows"

You're welcome.

About minimizing (or hiding completly) the command and ifw window.
Pete had asked me a last year.

1. If you want to run a minimized command window add the following line in the top of the script:

Code:

if not defined RunIFWTask set RunIFWTask=1 & start "Image for Windows" /min %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /c "%0" & goto :EOF

2. If you use the windows schedule, you can completely hide the command window if you use the "hidden" option in the schedule settings... Then only the ifw window will be displayed.

3.If you want to minimize or hide the ifw window, edit the script and at the end of the lines
set TBIParms=
and
set TBIIncParms=

add "/min" or "/hide".

 

That would work fine. Except that in your version the cmd.exe is still visable. In the version, I posted, it is not. With that there are no obtrusive windows, and everything runs silently in the taskbar.

 

You can go one better with neither a command window, IFW GUI or taskbar icon. Nothing is shown.

Do this as a Scheduled Task (which can also be run manually).

 

I saw that. The problem there is that manually images cannot be created without resetting the schedule.

 

If you use "Sample Backup Batch Script 2 - Rotate based on count." it doesn't reset the schedule. The script can be run manually or scheduled or both.
