I don't think there's any. For that Windows/Linux incompatibility.

Okay thank you. I'll look for an alternative backup tool.
best regards,
Jon.

No. There's no a command-line utility on the startup verson. You see, the startup version is Linux-based, and doesn't understand the Windows C:, D:, and the similar disk letters.

But the startup disk doesn't support automatic script execution. And it's possible to create a backup of a system disk using the startup disk.

Run rdi backup script from startup disk

Hi,

I would like to create a startup disk on an external hard drive that automatically runs an rdi script when the drive is connected and the PC is powered up. This script will perform a differential backup of the C partition then shutdown the PC. Is this possible?
I ask as there appears to be no option to create a backup of a partition from the startup disk.

Thank you,
Jon.
