12.1.4 Trueimagecmd usage examples

• This will list available partitions:

trueimagecmd --list

• This will list the partitions (and their indices) saved in backup.tib:

trueimagecmd --list --filename:backup.tib

• This will create an image named backup.tib of partition 1-1:

trueimagecmd --partition:1-1 --filename:backup.tib \
--create

• This will create an incremental image of the partition above:

trueimagecmd --partition:1-1 --filename:backup.tib \
--create --incremental

• This will create an image of partition 1-1 in the Acronis Secure Zone:

trueimagecmd --partition:1-1 --asz --create

• This will restore a partition from backup.tib:

trueimagecmd --partition:1-1 --filename:backup.tib \
--restore

• This will back up the folder /usr/kerberos/lib to the FTP server location:

trueimagecmd --filebackup --include:'/usr/kerberos/lib' \
--filename:ftp://myftp.com/Backup/MyLib.tib --ftp_user:usr1 \
--ftp_password:passw1

• This will back up the folder /bin to the shared folder on host1 and create the

operation log in the shared folder on host2:

trueimagecmd --filebackup --include:’/bin' \
--filename:smb://username1:password1@host1/dir/MyBin.tib \
--log:smb://username2:password2@host2/dir/Mylog1.log

• This will list backups, contained in the archive /usr/backups/backups.tib, with their pit

numbers. This command is designed to obtain pit numbers for consolidation.

trueimagecmd --pit_info --filename:/usr/backups/backups.tib

The list will look like the following:
Pit number: 1
type: file; kind: base; date: 10/18/07 2:45:02 PM
Pit number: 2
type: file; kind: incremental; date: 10/18/07 2:47:38 PM
Pit number: 3
type: file; kind: incremental; date: 10/18/07 2:49:58 PM
• This will create in the folder /usr/backups an archive consisting of two files: kons.tib,

(pit 2 of the archive /usr/backups/backups.tib) and kons2.tib (pit 3 of the archive
/usr/backups/backups.tib). Therefore, the ‘kons’ archive is a copy of the ‘backups’
archive without pit 1. Use this command to get rid of backups that you need not any
more while keeping the archive.
