Options. This tag can be used with a number of additional parameters:

Compression:

specifies the backup compression level. Can be

None, Low, Normal, High

.

Incremental:

specifies whether you need to create an incremental image file. If equal to

”false” (or “0”), a complete image file will be created. If there is already a file with the
name specified, it will be replaced without warnings. If equal to “true” (or “1”) and there
is already a file with the name specified, an incremental image will be created. Otherwise
the program will create a complete image file. The default value for this parameter is
“true”.

Description:

adds a description to an image file. The comment must be a single string

(though its length is not limited.)

Split:

splits a large image file into a number of smaller files of the specified size, which

can be provided in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc.

Password:

adds password protection to an image file.

16.2.3 Script usage examples

The following example illustrates the usage of a script to backup two partitions (logical
drives), C and F.

mybackup2.tib

is specified as an incremental image file. High

compression level is selected and the image is to be split into 650MB parts for recording
to CD-R/RW media. Password protection will also be added. The entire script must be
located between the

<backup>

and

</backup>

tags.

<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<backup>

<source letter ="c" />

<source letter ="f" />

<target file="e:\mybackup2.tib" />

<options compression="high" incremental="true"
description="this is my backup" split="650 Mb" password="" />

</backup>

The script for backing up to tape (tapeN specifies the tapes numbers):

<? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<backup>

<source letter =”c” />

<source letter ="f" />

<target cdrw="\taperecorder\\\.\tape0|||” />

<target cdrw="\taperecorder\\\.\tape1|||” />

<options compression="high" incremental="true"
description="this is my backup" />

</backup>
