How to kick of backup procedure via batch file?

Thread needs solution

I want to start the backup process via unattended automation. So is there any way to do this in True Image 2018?

Paul, welcome to these User Forums.

The recommended method here would be to use the Schedule option for your ATI 2018 backup task and set this to whatever date/time that you want the backup to run.  You do not have to be logged in to the user account when the scheduled task runs providing that ATI 2018 was installed from an Administrator account.  The task will take the authority it needs from the installer account.

The alternative method if you want to use the Windows Task Scheduler would be to create a batch file with the following command (modified to match the script name of your backup task that you want to run).

@echo off
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Acronis\TrueImageHome\TrueImageLauncher.exe" /script:0C9FE8EF-15E9-4860-BC6D-C090F452A158

Note: the '0C9FE8EF-15E9-4860-BC6D-C090F452A158' part of the above line is found by looking for your backup task XML (.tib.tis) file in the C:\Program Data\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts folder.  The name of each script file is in this long format but the contents are XML text data that you can open with Notepad to find the actual normal task name near the top of the file.
