volume
Commands: backup disk and backup vm
--volume=<volume numbers>
The parameter is used with the backup disk and backup vm commands to specify volumes to be backed up.
Volume numbers are specified as <disk number>-<volume number>. For example:
--volume=1-1,1-2
Dynamic volumes (in Windows) or logical volumes (in Linux) are specified with the DYN prefix or by their GUIDs. For example:
--volume=DYN1
--volume=e6ee6edc-d1ba-11d8-813e-806e6f6e6963
To back up all dynamic volumes or all logical volumes, specify:
--volume=DYN
Both basic and dynamic volumes can be specified by their letters. For example:
--volume=C
Mixed notation is also acceptable. For example:
--volume=1-1,E,e6ee6edc-d1ba-11d8-813e-806e6f6e6963
To view disk and volume numbers, volume letters and GUIDs, use the list disks command. To display the full length of GUIDs, add the --output=raw parameter.
You can use the --disk and --volume parameters in one command. For example:
--disk=1 --volume=E
If neither the --disk parameter nor the --volume parameter is specified, the software will back up all of the machine's disks.
Commands: recover disk, recover vm, mount
--volume=<volume number>
| Command with which the parameter is used | What does the parameter mean? | What if the parameter is not specified? |
|---|---|---|
|
The volume whose data is to be recovered from a backup. With the |
If the --disk parameter is specified, this disk will be recovered. Otherwise, the command will recover all of the backed-up disks. |
|
| The volume to be mounted from a backup. You can specify several volumes. | The command will fail. |
Volume numbers are specified as <disk number>-<volume number>. For example:
--volume=1-1,1-2
Dynamic volumes (in Windows) or logical volumes (in Linux) are specified with the DYN prefix. For example:
--volume=DYN1
To recover all dynamic volumes or all logical volumes, specify:
--volume=DYN
Both basic and dynamic volumes can be specified by their letters. For example:
--volume=C
Mixed notation is also acceptable. For example:
--volume=1-1,E,DYN1
To view disks and volumes contained in a backup, use the list content command.
Command: create asz
--volume={<volume numbers>|all}
In the create asz command, the parameter specifies volumes from which the free space for Acronis Secure Zone will be taken if the unallocated space on the specified disk is not enough. The free space will be taken in proportion to each volume's size. If --volume=all is specified, the free space will be taken from all volumes of the specified disk.
Without this parameter, Acronis Secure Zone will use the unallocated space only.
Command: resize asz
--volume={<volume numbers>|all}
If you use the resize asz command to increase Acronis Secure Zone, the software will behave in the same way as described earlier for the create asz command.
If you use the command to decrease Acronis Secure Zone, the parameter specifies volumes where the free space will be added. The space will be distributed to each volume equally. If --volume=all is specified, the free space will be added to all volumes of the disk where the zone is located. Without the --volume parameter, the freed space becomes unallocated.
Command: delete asz
--volume=<volume numbers>
In the delete asz command, the parameter specifies volumes where the free space will be added after the Acronis Secure Zone deletion. The space will be distributed to each volume equally. Without this parameter, the freed space becomes unallocated.
