The scope of using the program through command line is to allow to configure and run a backup through windows scheduled tasks or from other programs (as a plug-in). Scheduling the program through windows scheduled tasks you can execute it like a service and so without need user logon.



Run a BackupSet

Uranium.exe cmdline execbks "BackupSetName" "M" "V" "T"

The first parameter is the backup set name

The second parameter indicates if backup only modified items or all the items: T -> All , M -> Only modified

The third parameter indicates if the activity window must be visible (V) or invisible (I)

The fourth parameter indicates if end program after backup end (T) or leave the program opened (A)

In case of execution through windows scheduled task it is recommended to end the program at backup end (T).


See also this tutorial for execution as a service through scheduled tasks, and for multiple backup execution at the same time.



Create new BackupSet

Uranium.exe cmdline newbks "BackupSetName" "T"

The last parameter indicates if end program after this operation (T) or leave the program opened (A)



Adding items (files and folders to backup) to an existing BackupSet

Uranium.exe cmdline addelem "BackupSetName" "C:\user??{F0 - Exclude: *.txt|*.ini} C:\myfolder??C:\Documents??C:\Programs" "T"

The separator between various items must be ?? (double question mark)

It is possible to add an exclusion filter adding the prefix "{F0 - Exclude: *.txt|*.ini} " to the item
It is possible to add an exclusion filter adding the prefix "{F1 - Include: *.txt|*.ini} " to the item
The final space after the prefix is obligatory.

The last parameter indicates if end program after this operation (T) or leave the program opened (A)



Add backup destinations

Uranium.exe cmdline adddest "BackupSetName" "\\server\dylan??<ZIP 03> \\server\hisfolder??\\networkpc\backup??%TB%" "T"

The separator between various destinations must be ?? (double question mark)

It is possible to specify if compress the items in a destination adding before the destination the prefix "<ZIP 03> ".
The number indicates the number of copies to maintain (it will be always overwritten the oldest file).
The maximum number of copies to maintain is 99.
The final space after the prefix is obligatory.

If you want to add some special destinations, like tape backup or DVD/Blu-Ray burning, there are some specific special strings available:

%TB%: tape backup
%BB%: burning


The last parameter indicates if end program after this operation (T) or leave the program opened (A)



Add Scheduling to an existing BackupSet

Uranium.exe cmdline sched "BackupSetName" "1" "0" "01,02,03" "12:50,19:00" "T"

The first parameter is the backup set name

The second parameter indicates if enable (1) or disable (0) scheduling.

The third parameter indicates the schduling type:

0: Weekdays
>The fourth parameter must contain the weekdays numbers separated by "," (comma) in the form "01,02,03"
>The fifth parameter must contain the hours in which run the backup separated by "," (comma) in the form "12:50,19:00,23:45"

>The fourth parameter must contain the numbers of the days of the month separated by "," (comma) in the form "01,02,09,17,27"
>The fifth parameter must contain the hours in which run the backup separated by "," (comma) in the form "12:50,19:00,23:45"
