# Command Line Parameters

**Arcamatic** allows you use command line parameters to enable different options including using a specific profile, *Run* and then exit when complete, as well as *Run With No Exit* after completion.

On the client machine, you can either start the client and then click the start button to manually start a backup, or you can schedule a task or a batch file using the following command line params:

```
-p <MyIniFile.ini> -a [RUN | RUN_NO_EXIT]
```

For example, if installed in the `C:\Arcamatic` directory, the following command line would run the application with a custom profile file:

```
C:\Arcamatic\Client\Arcamatic.exe -p MyCustomProfile.ini -a RUN
```

where **-p** means use the profile specified by the ini file (which must be in the same directory), and **-a** means use the Action either **RUN** or **RUN\_NO\_EXIT** (but not both).

Note that only **Arcamatic Server** program requires a license - you can copy the contents of the Client directory to any computer you wish to backup to your server computer.
