16.2.2 Script structure
Scripts are written in the XML language and you can use the following tags:
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” />
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 CD-R/RW or tape drive.
Options.
This tag can be used with a number of additional parameters:
Compression:
specifies the backup compression level. Can be
None, Low, Normal, High
.
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
name specified, it will be replaced without warnings. If equal to “true” (or “1”) and there
is already a file with the name specified, an incremental image will be created. Otherwise
the program will create a complete image file. The default value for this parameter is
“true”.
Description:
adds a description to an image file. The comment must be a single string
(though its length is not limited.)
