Chapter 16. Command-line mode and
scripting
Acronis True Image Echo Workstation (local version) supports the command-line mode
and enables backup automation by executing XML scripts.
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.
Scripting is intended only for backup.

An administrator might need a console interface in some situations. Acronis True Image
Echo Workstation supports this mode with TrueImageCmd.exe utility as well as
ICompGS.exe, Ebasrvdb.exe, Tdbrepair.exe, and Adv_report.exe tools.

Workstation has been installed, by default it is
