Description

Partitions

Lists all partitions on local hard disks

XML Definition Files

Lists saved backup definitions. Backup definitions are stored as XML files that are passed as a command line parameter to reflect for convenient batch processing.

VBScript Files

Lists VBScript files (.vbs). VBScript files use Windows Scripting (WScript) to execute Reflect with the additional flexibility of Windows scripting objects and methods. You don't need to know anything about VB Script or WScript. Reflect can automatically generate VBScript files for you.

MS-DOS Batch Files

Lists MS-DOS batch files (.bat). Batch allow you to execute Reflect using the traditional DOS based approach. Although, not as flexible as VBScript files, this may be more familiar and therefore more convenient for you.

Scheduled Backups

List schedules XML, VBScript or MS-DOS Batch files. Reflect uses the Windows scheduler to schedule execution of  backups and images.

 

 


 

Log
