Acronis Backup & Recovery

Acronis Secure Zone: managing backups by file names

• The following command will list the Acronis Secure Zone size, free space and contents using generated filenames:

  trueimagecmd /asz_files /password:aszpw

Assume that the contents of Acronis Secure Zone are as follows:

  C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery>trueimagecmd /asz_files
  /password: aaa
  ASZ size: 5.387 GB
  ASZ free space: 4.363 GB
  FILE name: AAA2.TIB; size: 56414317 byte
       type: image, base; creation time: 2/16/2009 3:43:34 PM
       type: image, incremental; creation time: 4/25/2009 11:44:47 AM
  FILE name: FAAA.TIB; size: 3125550 byte
       type: file, base; creation time: 8/22/2009 12:28:40 PM
  FILE name: FAAB2.TIB; size: 5147 byte
       type: file, base; creation time: 8/14/2009 2:17:45 PM
       type: file, incremental; creation time: 8/15/2009 2:19:43 AM  

In our example, the Acronis Secure Zone contains three archives.

Archive AAA2 (2 stands for the number of backups in the archive) consists of:

• full (base) image backup created on 2/16/2009 at 3:43
• incremental backup created on 4/25/2009 at 11:44.

Archive FAAA (F means that this is a file-level archive) contains one base file-level backup.

Archive FAAB2 (B means that this is the second file-level archive in the zone) consists of:

• full (base) file-level backup created on 8/14/2009 at 2:17
• incremental backup created on 8/15/2009 at 2:19.

  trueimagecmd /filerestore /filename:asz://FAAA /target_folder:e:

  /password:aszpw

This will restore files and folders with their original paths from the sole base backup FAAA to the root of partition E.

  C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery>trueimagecmd /filerestore
  /filename:asz://FAAA /target_folder:e: /password:aaa
