Command Line

Hi,

I’ve recently started using Comodo Backup to create disk images. I was playing around with the command line but I am unable to get it to do anything.

If I run the following all it does is it opens up the Comodo Backup GUI:

SET bup="C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO BackUp\CBU.exe" SET bupdailysrc=G:\Backup\Today

REM Email notifications
SET smtp=smtp.server.net
SET emlsubject=Backups
SET emlsender=sender[at]backups.com
SET emlrecipient=recipient[at]backups.com

echo.
echo Initiating Backup…
echo.

%bup% ^
/backup_operation ^
/backup_type full ^
/type disk ^
/source disk0 ^
/description “System Image Backup” ^
/destinationType Disk File ^
/destinationPath %bupdailysrc%\full_system_backup.cbu ^
/emailNotification ^
/onFailure ^
/smtpServer %smtp% ^
/subject %emlsubject% ^
/sender %emlsender% ^
/recipient %emlrecipient% ^
/guiRunModeServiceModeRun ^
/silentRun

echo.
echo Backup Complete!
echo.

Please can anyone show me where I am going wrong? Thanks.

*** I got this sorted.

I am new at this too, but I am beginning to get things to work using the SCRIPT option.
Put your commands into a file, add /SCRIPT and the fully-qualified file name to the command line after CBU.EXE

“C:\Program Files\COMODO\COMODO BackUp\CBU.exe” /Script “R:\My Backups\20150218 1037 comodo backup.cbs”

I am creating my script file, and envoking CBU all within a .BAT file. It assigns the date/time of the backup and builds all the commands in the script file.
