#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/trueimagecmd --create --partition:2-1 \

--filename:/mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib

Where /mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib is the name and path of the image.

The second executable file is needed to initiate daily creation of incremental images:

#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/trueimagecmd --create --incremental --partition:2-1 \

--filename:/mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib

If needed, users can set up their own backup schedule. For more information, see Help on the cron

service.

1.3 Restoring files with trueimagemnt

The trueimagemnt tool is designed to restore files from partition/disk images. It mounts Acronis

Backup & Recovery 10 archives as if they were kernel space block devices. The program implements

the user level part of the user mode block device service of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10. The

majority of the functionality is handled by the snumbd kernel module.

SYNOPSIS

trueimagemnt [-h|--help] [-l|--list] [-m|--mount mountpoint] [-u|--umount

mountpoint] [-s|--stop pid] [-o|--loop] [-f|--filename archive filename] [-p|--

password password] [-t|--fstype filesystem type] [-i|--index partition index]

[-w|--read-write] [-d|--description archive description] [-k|--keepdev]

1.3.1 Supported commands

trueimagemnt supports the following commands:

-h|--help

Shows usage.

-l|--list

Lists already mounted user mode block devices.

-m|--mount mountpoint

Mounts the archive image specified by the -f|--filename option into the folder specified by the

mountpoint option. The partition index should be specified by the -i|--index option. Image file

contents (partitions and their indices) may be listed by the trueimagecmd --list --

filename:filename command.

To mount an incremental image, you must have all previous incremental images and the initial full image. If any

of the successive images is missing, mounting is impossible.

-u|--umount mountpoint

Unmounts the device mounted at mountpoint, destroys the kernel space block device and stops

the user space daemon.

-s|--stop pid

Destroys the kernel space block device and stops the user space daemon specified by pid. This

command should be used if an error occurs while the mounting and unmounted user space
