Hallo,

did someone have already script for Acronis Backup&Restore?
If yes please post.

Xplod

[dera]

try:
 AcronisBackupAndRecovery10_v4.7z   3.02KB   1562 downloads
it is only the BartPE version

Edit:
currently the script always place the prog. inside vistape.wim
(i have problem to place it outside the .wim,
seems mms always should be located
in 'x:\program files' inside the wim)
the BartPE version needs lic
the script try to read it from the host
in that case if it is not successful
then try to run Acronis\WinPE\WinPE\export_license.bat
and should correct the script yourself
look into license.info and put the needed data into the script

script updated

[dera]

newer version:
see post #2
now in VistaPE project can select RunFromRam or not RunFromRam
(choice to place the prog. in 'Program Files' inside the vistape.wim or place the prog. in 'Programs' folder in the CD root)

script in post #2
updated to version=3

hopefully the script now works in LiveXP project, too
(RunFromRam checkbox has no effect in LiveXP)
mistake:
missing 'UpperFilters' registry entries
corrected

[Lancelot]

Thanks dera,

another good script at App Scripts

[dera]

For some time i did not want to change the attached script (version=3) in post #2
but noticed
in that script in the section [allow_mms] at lines #166-167 there are the lines:
//AddAutoRun,start_mms, etc.
AddPostConfig,start_mms, etc.

seems this works in VistaPE,
but seems does not work in Win7RescuePE if the "Run from ram (boot.wim)" checkbox is unchecked,
maybe would be better to change them,
uncomment 'AddAutoRun' and comment out 'AddPostConfig'
so try change them to:
AddAutoRun,start_mms, etc.
//AddPostConfig,start_mms, etc.

but seems does not work in Win7RescuePE if the "Run from ram (boot.wim)" checkbox is unchecked,

You found a bug in Win7RescuePE loader.
This is easy to fix.
It will work in next version.

i tried my script in Win7RescuePE project, too
and seems using win7peldr.exe v.1.2.0.7
either AddAutoRun, either AddPostConfig works fine

but noticed
the prog can work only in that case
if in the 'Configuration' script (\Projects\Win7RescuePE\config.script)
'Build model: In RAM (boot.wim)' option selected,

if 'Build model: Normal' option used then the prog. doesn't work at all (seems doesn't get the lic in the running Win7RescuePE)

Any idea why does it happen or how should to solve this problem?

[risolutore]

according to Acronis Help file the supported operating system of Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Workstation are:

Windows Professional 2000 SP4/Professional XP SP2
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition/Home Edition
Windows Vista - all editions

[Joshua]

if 'Build model: Normal' option used then the prog. doesn't work at all (seems doesn't get the lic in the running Win7RescuePE)

I have no AcronisBackupAndRecovery10 for testing!
i will look to your script, may be i found something that causes this?

Joshua

[dera]

Thanks Joshua

At the first time when made the script for VistaPE, where i always used the .wim,
noticed that i am unable to place the program outside the .wim,
i.e. in 'Programs' folder in the CD root.
This was solved with that trick : the files of 'mms' services always placed inside the 'Program Files' folder
and in VistaPE it means always placed inside the .wim

Edit:
sorry
now i can see in VistaPE also there is an option "Direct from CD/DVD"
just never used it


the strange is that in LiveXP the program works fine using a plain .iso,
i mean using no writable %SystemDrive% or no writable Program Files folder,
and works also if BootSDI used

[dera]

but noticed
the prog can work only in that case
if in the 'Configuration' script (\Projects\Win7RescuePE\config.script)
'Build model: In RAM (boot.wim)' option selected,

if 'Build model: Normal' option used then the prog. doesn't work at all (seems doesn't get the lic in the running Win7RescuePE)

Any idea why does it happen or how should to solve this problem?

I have made a newer test not using the .wim
and strangely now the program works.
Seems this problem depends on the used Acronis version,
i mean using newer software version it works
using the older version it doesn't work.

Anyone has similar experience?

script in post #2
updated to version=4

[xplod]

Hallo,

I have tested your V4.
The application is starting fine. Bu you cannot Backup/Restore to a mapped network drive.
The same test with True Image Workstation 9.1 and True Image Workstation Echo is working fine.

Xplod

[dera]

look here
it helped on TI Home 2009
maybe works with BR10 too (don't know, i didn't try yet)

[dera]

at me
either starting the app. with 'TrueImage_starter.exe' and browsing 'Network folders' works



either starting the app. with 'TrueImage.exe' and browsing 'mapped network drive' works

[xplod]

Hallo,

starting the app. with 'TrueImage.exe' is the Solution.
Maybee you can change this in your script.

acronis backup and recovery 10 has its own winpe builder, just point it to ur project. Runs flawlessly. Note that this is not the old school 'media builder" but an actual winpe builder.

[dera]

yes
but that winpe_iso.exe always will place the prog inside 'Program Files' inside the .wim
(its size is more than ~130MB)

(and at me this script works in LiveXP project, too)

[dera]

Any idea exactly how is it possible to slim it down?
(e.g. to remove:
bootwiz.bin
bootmenu.exe
kernel.dat
ramdisk.dat
BootAgentActiveRestoreDos.run
hddhook.com
mouse.com
f11.cfg)

[magic12kenneth]

I'm unable to do a recovery using this script. As soon as I press OK to recover, it just brings you back to the main menu. It doesn't do anything. Anyone else did a successful recovery? I can do backup fine. I'm using LiveXP.

I tried to use this script, but I can't find the Bootmenu.exe that is asked for anywhere. The only thing there is a file called bootmenu.bin.

Anyone any ideas?

script version 4 works only with B&R 10 up to build 10.0.0.11133

newer script:
 AcronisBackupAndRecovery10_v6.7z   3.49KB   880 downloads

Note:
in the script interface in the "Path to BartPE files:" input field
as default folder the "C:\Program Files\Acronis\BootableComponents\WinPE\Files" mentioned,
it is valid only for older B&R 10 builds

in newer B&R 10 builds the needed files reside in 'C:\Program Files\Acronis\BootableComponents\WinPE\WinPE.zip',
so first should extract these files manually from 'WinPE.zip\Files' to a folder e.g. to '%ScriptDir%\Files' then in the script interface should point to this folder in the "Path to BartPE files:" input field

[skydancer]

Unfortunately the script not working on the latest build 12708.

[dera]

Unfortunately the script not working on the latest build 12708.

as you did not mention any detail about the prblem
and seeing your topic
can i suppose that the promlem is not 'the script not working on the latest build 12708' but rather 'the script not working in x64 based PE'?
