-pr ProfileOne| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -console | This option makes Syncrify client run in console mode. If this is missing every other option will be ignore and Syncrify client will run in its default GUI mode |
| -u | User's email address that is used to identify the account on the server. |
| -p | User's password |
| -pr | Profile name corresponding to the Profile name on the server. Use the same value for profile name when running the same backup again. Specifying a different value will cause the server to store files in a different folder. This can be a one word value without spaces and should contains characters that are considered valid for a directory name. |
| -sp | Server path. This corresponds to a one word folder name on the server that is used for storing files under the profile. Use the same value for this parameter when running the same backup again. This can be a one word value without spaces and should contains characters that are considered valid for a directory name. |
| -sF | Selected Folder. Specifies one folder location that you want to backup or restore. This parameter must be accompanied by -tF |
| -tF | Top Level Folder. Specifies the top-level folder where the selected folder is located. This parameter must be accompanied by -sF.
The -sF and -tF parameters are only valid if you are running backup/restore on an existing profile and just want to run a backup on a specific folder. This is
equivalent of backing up a selected folder specified here using console. Refer to example 2 below. |
| -oD | Backup Direction. This specifies the direction for backup and will overwrite the values specified in the profile. Possible values are:
|
| -selFilter | Value for selection filter |
| -enableVersioning | This is a stand-alone parameter. Enables versioning. |
| -twoway | This is a stand-alone parameter. Enables Two-way sync. This option has been deprecated. |
| -saveProfile | This is a stand-alone parameter. This is a convenient way of creating a profile file without running the actual backup. The profile file will be created in ~/.syncrify folder. Refer to example number 2 below to see how to use this profile to run backup. |
| -nocompression | This is a stand-alone parameter. When present Syncrify client won't use compression before transferring files. |
| -itools | Runs in interactive mode, allowing users to:
|
| -skipRedir | By default, messages sent to STDOUT and STDERR are sent to files in the $DATA_FOLDER\logs directory. Use -skipRedir to send console messages to screen instead of redirecting them to files. |
| -v | This is a stand-alone parameter. When present log messages will appear on the console. |
java -jar SyncrifyClient.jar -console myProfile.syncrifyThe above example assume you have a pre-created profile called myProfile and want to run it through command line.
java -jar SyncrifyClient.jar -console myProfile.syncrify -tF /user/home/jack/Desktop -sF /user/home/jack/Desktop/Pictures/NewYorkThis example runs a profile called myProfile and will only backup files in /user/home/jack/Desktop/Pictures/NewYork folder.
java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/ATempFolder -jar SyncrifyClient.jar -console myProfile.syncrifyThe above example a backup is run against myProfile and the client will use /opt/ATempFolder to store temporary files.
java -jar SyncrifyClient.jar -console -itools
java -jar SyncrifyClient.jar -console -v -u jack@company.com -p secret -pr firstProfile -sp t2 -nocompression /user/home/jack/Desktop https://backup.company.comIn the above example, files located in \user\home\jack\Desktop will be backed up to a server running on backup.company.com using the HTTPS protocol on default port. No compression will be used.
java -jar SyncrifyClient.jar -console myProfile.syncrify -oD s2c -tF /user/home/jack/Desktop -sF /user/home/jack/Desktop/Pictures/NewYorkThis example runs a profile called myProfile and will only restore files in /user/home/jack/Desktop/Pictures/NewYork folder.
