#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/trueimagecmd --create --partition:2-1 --
filename:/mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib
Where /mnt/backups/my_host/backup.tib is image name and path.
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 make their own backup schedule. For more information, see Help on
the cron service.
11.3 Restoring files with trueimagemnt
The trueimagemnt tool is designed to restore files from partition/disk images. It mounts
Acronis True Image archives as if they were kernel space block devices. The program
implements the user level part of the Acronis True Image Server for Linux user mode block
device service. The large part of 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]
11.3.1 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 -f|--filename option into the folder specified by
mountpoint option. The partition index should be specified by -i|--index option. Image
file contents (partitions and their indices) may be listed by 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 successive images is missing, the mounting is impossible.
-u|--umount mountpoint
