How to script/automate Total Recall profile creation/restore

Applies To

Workabout Pro 4, Omnii XT15, EP10, VH10

Details

Total Recall v5.x leverages XML files to perform its tasks.

The exe is called TotalRecall.exe and is found in the \Windows folder.
Note this file is hidden so you need to disable hidden files on the terminal to see it if desired but that is not necessary for the CLI commands to work.

Create an XML file to feed into Total Recall, based upon  your use case.
An example is shown below, this sample creates an autorestore backup Total Recall profile called "Default2.pfl " in the terminal's Flash Disk folder

<root>
  <command>backup
     <profilename>
        \Flash Disk\Default2.pfl
    </profilename>
   <autorestore>
      autorestoreenabled
   </autorestore>
 </command>
</root>

Save this text as an xml file (e.g. test.xml) and then place it on the terminal in a folder of your choice
To initiate the xml file call it via the TotalRecall.exe mentioned above. 

For example if the xml file was called test.xml and was stored in the \root of the terminal, run the following:

\windows\totalrecall.exe \test.xml

You must tell the terminal the full path to the exe and the xml file for it to work.
Any errors will be logged in the \Total Recall\Errorlog.txt file on the terminal
