3.12.14 reboot

reboot and reboot later

--reboot

--reboot --later

Reboot the machine before the operation (if required).

Use the --reboot parameter when performing the following operations that require a reboot:

recovering a volume that contains the currently active operating system, recovering locked files,

creating/deleting Acronis Secure Zone on a system disk, cloning a system disk. The machine will be

rebooted without a prompt.

If neither the --reboot parameter nor the --silent_mode=on (p. 120) parameter is specified, the

operation will request user interaction. If the --reboot parameter is not specified and the

--silent_mode=on parameter is specified, the operation will fail.

To postpone the operation until a user reboots the system manually, add the --later parameter.

With this parameter, the operation will be performed after the user initiates a reboot. This

parameter can only be used with the create asz (p. 55) and resize asz (p. 55) commands.

If you specify the --reboot parameter with operations that do not necessarily require a reboot, this

parameter will be ignored.

reboot after

--reboot_after

Reboot the server after the operation is completed.

3.12.15 silent_mode

--silent_mode={on|off}

If the parameter value is on, the silent mode is enabled. It means that the software will automatically

handle situations requiring user interaction. If an operation cannot continue without user interaction,

it will fail. Details of the operation, including errors, if any, can be found in the operation log.

If the value is off or if the parameter is not specified, the command allows interaction with the user.

Set this value if the operation requires a user interaction, such as inserting removable media (CD,

DVD or tape).

To prohibit interaction when the software comes across a bad sector during backup, use the

--ignore_bad_sectors (p. 95) parameter. The --silent_mode parameter does not work in this

particular case.

The --silent_mode and --force_yes (p. 116) parameters are mutually exclusive.

3.12.16 use_registry_defaults

--use_registry_defaults

The parameter is used with the backup and recovery commands, except for recover mbr (p. 22). It

determines the values of backup and recovery options that are not explicitly specified in a command

string.
