The command interpreter has been extended with an option for validating environment variables and conditions. A value included in the string “$ENV:()” is replaced at running time with the value of the environment variable.Similarly at running time, a set environment variable “image_name” with the value “C:\Image20990226.omg” is replaced in the command file by using the […]

In a command file, commands and/or parameters can be connected with conditions when needed to run or apply them.A condition is labelled with the string “CONDITION”.The following operations can be used for getting a verification of validity: the values are equal- (“==”) the values are unequal- („!=“) the left value is greater than the right […]

Create an image of the “C” drive Example 1: Create an image of the “C”drive.This image will be compressed and saved whereby sectors not being imaged (those sectors that have not changed since the base image was created) will be given a hash value to check for changes in the future.The image will be compressed […]
