No incremental backup from command line
Hello,
I am using True Image Home 2010 (build 6.029).
I start an incremental backup job using the command line
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\TrueImageHomeService.exe" /script:"c:\Users\All Users\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts\D32ABAB1-143A-41B8-860E-7064A3912B40.tib.tis".
The job runs but always does a full backup instead of an incremental.
When I start the job from within the GUI an incremental backup is performed.
I have detected that when using the GUI the script is updated with entries like
When starting form the command line there is no update of the script.
Any tips or ideas?

Dmitry:
I think that you missed Oliver's point. He has successfully created a script and a batch file, and he is able to execute the batch file from the command prompt. His point is that a full backup is always performed, even if the script specifies an incremental backup.
I have been reading forum posts describing this same issue ever since TI version 10. Version 10 had this bug, and version 11, and TI 2009, and now TI 2010. Again, the scripts correctly execute if they are started from the GUI, but no matter what is specified in the script, a full backup is always made if the script is executed from a command prompt.
Also, your instructions are incorrect for Oliver's system. He is running either Windows 7 or Vista. Your instructions and paths are for Windows XP.

Go to this post http://forum.acronis.com/forum/5940
open the attached zipfile, find the PDF and scroll down go to page 20.
You will find a detailed explanation of the bug and the solution.
The short answer is you MUST run a task at least once from within the acronis GUI.
After having run the task once in the GUI you are free to do any mix of command line runs or gui runs without issue. However if you ONLY run a task by command line and the task has never ever been executed from within gui then a command line run will ONLY produce a full backup.
If you want more details review the document mentioned.

Good find. Your explanation makes sense.
