Chapter 16. Command-line mode and
scripting
Acronis True Image Echo Enterprise Server (local version) supports the command-line
mode and enables backup automation by executing XML scripts.
The command-line mode functionality is somewhat limited as compared to the GUI mode.
You will not be able to perform operations that require the reboot of the system, such as
restore a system partition or clone a system drive. These operations only can be done
through the GUI.
Scripting is intended only for backup.
