[OPLINTECH] Replacement for Ghost Software

[Mann, James H.]

Ed
We got the Clonezilla server running but it was a bear.....really bad documentation.
We cloned about 30 workstations to donate to Goodwill in about 2 hours so it's well worth it. We used a small hub so only did 10 at a time. Stacked them on a booktruck and moved a USB keyboard and the monitor...should have made a movie.
I only use Clonezilla now and have all my images on a 500 gig external drive and mostly boot off a USB stick.
Great product and it is free!

I have been using colnezilla live to image machines.
http://clonezilla.org
They also have a server application for imaging that I have not used,
but would be interested to hear from anyone who has.
I have been using clonezilla live with a portable hard drive to store
images on and to deploy the images from. It has been working quite well
for me.
