Chapter 13. Command-line mode
SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery supports the command-line mode.
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.
13.1 Working in the command-line mode
An administrator might need a console interface in some situations. SonicWALL Bare
Metal Recovery supports this mode with TrueImageCmd.exe utility. The file is located
in a folder where SonicWALL Bare Metal Recovery has been installed, by default it is
C:\Program Files\SonicWALL\BareMetalRecovery.
