Hi @all,

our scenario:
1. installed 15 days trail Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Update 3
2. created bootable iso with Acronis Media Builder
3. mounted iso with VMWare Player.
4. started virtual machine, booted Acronis Backup & Recovery, switched to tty1

output of "trueimagecmd --list":
Num Partition Flags Start Size Type
------ --------------- ------- ------ ------------ ------
Disk 1 (sda)
Table 0 Table
Unallocated 1 41943039 Unallocated

output of "trueimagecmd --list --vault:ftp://10.144.1.30/acr/elm --arc:GIS.tib":
Pit number: 1
type: image; kind: full; date: 12/3/10 11:25:31 AM

So you can see there are no problems with the network connection or the connection to our ftp server.

To recover the image mentioned above, we tried following command:
trueimagecmd --restore --target_harddisk:0 --start:1 --type:active --vault:ftp://10.144.1.30/acr/elm --arc:GIS.tib

Furthermore we tried all the things emplained in the articles here (useing nfs or smb):
- http://kb.acronis.com/content/8052
- http://kb.acronis.com/content/1557
- http://kb.acronis.com/content/2851

Regardless of which command we are trying, we always get the following message:
Command line parameters are incorrect or incomplete

So what do we have to do to get restoring work with our ftp server?

Got the solution.

You need to install "Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Server for Linux".
With this installation you will get a trueimagecmd script with more functions.

To restore an image from a ftp server, just type:

trueimagecmd --restore --harddisk:1 --filename:ftp:///folder/image.tib

The --filename parameter is only available within the server versions of "Acronis Backup & Recovery 10".
