You need to back up partition 2-1. Let’s suppose a complete image has to be created weekly
supported by incremental images created daily.
To do this, place the respective executable files (e.g. trueimage.cron) into
/etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.weekly folders.
To initiate weekly creation of a complete image of partition 2-1, add the following line to
the above file:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/trueimagecmd --create --partition:2-1 --
filename:/mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib
Where /mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib is image name and path.
The second executable file is needed to initiate daily creation of incremental images:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/trueimagecmd --create --incremental --partition:2-1 --
filename:/mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib
If needed, users can make their own backup schedule. For more information, see Help on
the cron service.
11.3 Restoring files with trueimagemnt
The trueimagemnt tool is designed to restore files from partition/disk images. It mounts
Acronis True Image archives as if they were kernel space block devices. The program
implements the user level part of the Acronis True Image Server for Linux user mode block
device service. The large part of functionality is handled by the snumbd kernel module.
