How to create a script to clone boot drive

Thread needs solution

I would like to clone by boot drive (C: in Windows 7) to another drive on a regular basis before shutting off the computer. To do this manually requires several time consuming steps. How can I create script to do this easily?

Thanks.

If referring to the actual clone procedure described by Acronis, no such script has been possible in the past. The user interaction is necessary for proper selection of disk and options, etc.

However, TrueImage does provide the backup and restore feature which enables the backup file to be restored onto the existing disk or a new disk and the replacement will be the same as created by the clone procedure. This procedure can be automated.

The backup and restore method is the preferred method by many of us users as this method does not carry the risk factor associated with the cloning procedure and multiple backups can be stored on one disk.
