Help File With DOS Commands For Echo Workstation

Where can I find a help file about DOS commands for Echo Workstation (to run tasks from the command line batch files). I don't see it anywhere here:

I have found it:

I assume the rules are as follows:

1) Disk and partition numbers are one-based, counting all hidden partitions, and there are two syntax conventions:

/harddisk:disk1 /partition:disk1-part1
/harddisk:1 /partition:1-1

- first primary partition on the first disk (usually drive C) is: 1-1 (and not 0-0)
- second primary partition (if you have one) on the first disk is: 1-2
- third primary partition (if you have one) on the first disk is: 1-3
- first logical partition on the first disk is: 1-4

2) To backup to the Secure Zone
a) use disk and partition number of SZ, eg. disk1-part9
b) skip the following switches: /split /filename

3) The switches can be placed in any order.

4) For troubleshooting you can add the Log switch with the filename, eg:

/log:"E:\tiewdos.log"

Can anyone explain the following switches:

/list
/raw
/start
/type
/oss_numbers
/preserve_mbr

5) The following test batch file returns the error:

"The system cannot execute the specified program"

trueimagecmddos.exe /create /harddisk:disk1 /partition:disk1-part1 /full /target_harddisk:disk1 /target_partition:disk1-part20 /split:split /compression:normal /filename:"Image.tib" /progressn /log:"T:\tiewdos.log" /start:start

(in the batch file itself all the commands are in one line)

Thanks, now I got the command line working.

It seems that "/harddisk:n" switch does not need to be used together with "/partition:n-n" switch, but it's not really clearly explained in the PDF help. Can you confirm that my assumptions presented below are correct.

1) In the example below the image of drive C and D on disk #1 will be backed up to the Secure Zone:

trueimagecmd /create /asz /oss_numbers /partition:1-1,1-5

2) Here the image of all partitions on disk #1 will be backed up to the Secure Zone:

trueimagecmd /create /asz /harddisk:1

3) And the following command is not correct:

trueimagecmd /create /asz /harddisk:1 /oss_numbers /partition:1-1,1-5

 

Hello Kimberlito,

We are sorry for delayed response.

Actually, all three examples will work. In the third case the /harddisk switch will override partition selection on the same hard drive, so it will back up the whole hard drive.

Thank you.

I am using Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server. I am trying to create a command that will perform a backup of a folder on the server.

trueimagecmd /filebackup /filename:"z:\KnightBackupsWeekOne\KnightBackupWeekOne.tib" /include:"\\knight\Userfiles\"

The returned message is 'Failed to perform the file backup'

 

Hello cecej,

Thank you for using Acronis Server Backup software.

If you use mapped drive Z: the reason of the issue can be in it. It would be better to use full UNC path instead of drive mapping. We would also recommend you not to use quotas if the paths have no gaps. So please try to use following command:

trueimagecmd /filebackup /filename:\\server\KnightBackupsWeekOne\KnightBackupWeekOne.tib /include:\\knight\Userfiles\

Thank you
