You can obtain the list of available hard disks using the

provided by the

command. Partition numbers are specified as <disk number>-<partition
number>, e.g.:
--partition:1-1,1-2,3-1
To specify a logical volume (also called LVM volume) or an MD device (also called Linux Software
RAID), use the DYN prefix. For example:
--partition:dyn1
raw
Use this option to create an image of a disk (partition) with an unrecognized or unsupported file
system. This will copy all disk/partition contents sector-by-sector. Without this option only the
sectors containing useful system and user data are imaged (for the supported file systems).

Shows/hides the progress information (percent completed). It is shown by default.
exclude_names:[names]

be specified relative to the objects' partitions root entry.
For example, if "
boot
" partition is mounted to the
/boot

"
grub
" directory from a backup, then it must be specified as
/grub/
. If this directory is located on a
root partition, then
/boot/grub/
should be specified to exclude it from the backup.
exclude_masks:[masks]
Applies masks to select files to be excluded from the backup. Use the common Linux masking rules.
For example, to exclude all files with extension
.sh
, add
*.sh
.
My???.sh

.sh
files with
names consisting of five symbols and starting with "my".
exclude_hidden
Excludes all hidden files from the backup.
