Script structure
Scripts are written in the XML language and you can use the following tags:
Source (p. 32)
Target (p. 32)
Options (p. 32)
1.3.2.1
Source
Specifies the partitions or disks to be imaged. Letters assigned to partitions must be used without a
colon. Disk numbers correspond to their system numbers. To create images of several partitions or
disks, use the SOURCE tag for each of them, e.g.:
<source letter =”C” />
<source letter =”D” />
<source disk =”1” />
<source disk =”2” />
1.3.2.2
Target
Specifies the name and the location of an image file, e.g.:
<target file=“E:\Mybackup2.tib” username=”username” password=”password” />
username and password parameters are optional. They are used to access networked resources.
As a target for the image files you can indicate a CD-R/RW or tape drive.
1.3.2.3
Options
This tag can be used with a number of additional parameters:
Compression
specifies the backup compression level. Can be None, Normal, High, Maximum.
Incremental
specifies whether you need to create an incremental image file. If equal to ”false” (or “0”), a
complete image file will be created. If there is already a file with the specified name, it will be
replaced without warnings. If equal to “true” (or “1”) and there is already a file with the specified
name, an incremental image will be created. Otherwise the program will create a complete
image file. The default value for this parameter is “true”.
