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.
