You can run Double Image so that it is not visible on the Windows desktop by using the "-run:invisible" command-line option. An advantage of running Double Image invisibly is that you could run scheduled backups on other computers without disturbing the users of those computers.
You can run Double Image invisibly from the command line by using the following methods:
Double Image Scheduler
Windows Task Scheduler
Desktop Icon
Shortcuts
Run Command line
Command Line Options via another application
The following example below shows how to use "-run:invisible" in a command that runs a profile:
"C:\Program Files\Double Image Systems\Double Image\Double Image.exe" -b "d:\DI_Profiles\Backup_EFT_to_D.bu" -run:invisible
In this example, the order of processing is:
Double Image is started.
Double Image opens the profile file "d:\DI_Profiles\Backup_EFT_to_D.bu".
Double Image applies the -run:invisible variable option.
Double Image performs the backup, according to the profile options + command-line option.
