Command Line
Backup Platinum allows performing a number of its operations with the use
of command line. In this way you can perform Backup Platinum commands without
opening the program window, either with any appropriate program (like "Far
manager", for instance), or through created shortcut to Backup Platinum
agent, or through "Run" option on Windows "Start" menu.
Backup Platinum command line syntax (keys and corresponding Backup Platinum
actions) is displayed in command line Help window:
You can use either the full key or its contracted form provided in round brackets
(e.g., either "-Delete" or "-d" for deleting items).
- help (-?): shows Help window;
- Delete (-d) <items>: deletes specified items;
- DeleteAll (-da): deletes all items;
- Stop (-s) <items>: stops operations with specified items;
- StopAll (-sa): stops operations with all items;
- Execute (-e) <items>: executes operations with specified items;
- ExecuteAll (-ea): executes operations with all items.
Note that the option ExecuteAll cannot be used when backing up on a CD/DVD. Also you cannot backup
several items at once
when backing up on a CD/DVD, as in this case only the item that has managed to lock the CD/DVD first will be backed up.
Below are some
examples of command line usage.
- For example, during your workday you need to periodically
backup the item named "Backup_work_files". Create a shortcut on
your desktop to the location of Backup Platinum file bpx.exe. Right-click
on the shortcut icon to get the menu, select "Properties" option,
choose "Shortcut" tab and in the "Target" box, type the
required command and specify item name ( -e "Backup_work_files"). Click
"OK". Then, every time you need to perform backup of this item,
just double-click the shortcut icon.

- Also, you can perform required operations through
"Run" option on Windows "Start" menu. Specify location of
Backup Platinum file bpx.exe, then type required command and click
"OK".
"Next".
