How do I backup all folders at once?
Acronis True Image 2020 - Windows 10.
I have 14 separate backup folders on the same PC. Is there a way to back them all up at once - a 'back up all' command? Presently I have to manually start each one independently - which is a pain, to say the least.
Many thanks.
Perhaps 'folders' is the wrong term. I have 14 different photographic backup categories: landscape, architecture . . . etc. I currently have scheduled each to backup at certain, and different, times.
However, occasionally I want to backup before the scheduled time. I currently have to start the backup process on each one separately.
I'm asking whether there's a 'backup all now' command that I'm not seeing!
Thanks.
Occasionally I do not want to wait for the scheduled backups, and want to back them all up at once. I can't find a way that allows me to do that in a single command, and I have to initiate each backup in turn.
Am I missing something, or is this a missing feature? Thanks.
Jonty, there is no method to trigger all your 14 separate folder backup tasks to be run on demand.
The options that you have are that you can click on each task, then on Back up now, and repeat this immediately for each of the 14 tasks. Acronis will only allow 1 task to run at any time, so each new task clicked will be queued behind any active task.
The alternative will take a few minutes of work on your part but would allow you to achieve the same end result via a Windows batch command file.
See KB 47143: Acronis True Image: How to run backups from Command Line - for details of how to do this. (Follow the steps for ATI 2019).
Example batch command file: RunMultiATITasks.BAT
@echo off set ATI="C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\TrueImageHome\TrueImageHomeNotify.exe" set task1="70D75420-9D6D-4727-8412-84C56B257B59" set task2="0FDE1FF7-B29D-44A0-8969-8AC8B0E80B6B" set task3="E48ABED6-224C-4684-9941-879C5256DAAC" set task4="F62D1120-65E9-4BE4-B338-61C5AE5E3490" set task5="C39F0694-47CA-4A83-83AC-7884CA7DAAFD" set task6="A8741F40-FCC4-486B-827C-664940FF7009" set task7="CF8CC204-FCD0-4E6F-AD69-8D3E547DFD15" set task8="" set task9="" set task10="" set task11="" set task12="" set task13="" set task14="" %ATI% /script:%task1% %ATI% /script:%task2% %ATI% /script:%task3% %ATI% /script:%task4% %ATI% /script:%task5% %ATI% /script:%task6% %ATI% /script:%task7% %ATI% /script:%task8% %ATI% /script:%task9% %ATI% /script:%task10% %ATI% /script:%task11% %ATI% /script:%task12% %ATI% /script:%task13% %ATI% /script:%task14%
Note: the task identifiers used above in the example are those from my PC tasks, so you need to replace these with your own identifiers plus fill in the extra missing identifiers.
