Chapter 16. Command-line mode and
scripting
Acronis True Image Echo Workstation (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.
16.1 Working in the command-line mode
An administrator might need a console interface in some situations. Acronis True Image
Echo Workstation supports this mode with TrueImageCmd.exe utility as well as the
ICompGS.exe and Ebasrvdb.exe tools.
TrueImageCmd.exe is located in the folder where where Acronis True Image Echo
Workstation has been installed, by default it is
C:\Program Files\Acronis\TrueImageEchoWorkstation.
ICompGS.exe is located in the folder where the Group Server is installed, by default it is
C:\Program Files\Acronis\GroupServer
Ebasrvdb.exe is located in the folder where the Backup Server is installed, by default it is
C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupServer
