The problem with these kind of software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You&#8217;ve probably also heard of Symantec&#8217;s solution to this problem,\u00a0Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition\u00ae\u00a0with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting!<br \/>\nClonezilla, based on\u00a0DRBL,\u00a0Partclone\u00a0and\u00a0udpcast, allows you to do bare metal backup and recovery. Two types of Clonezilla are available,\u00a0Clonezilla live\u00a0and\u00a0Clonezilla SE (server edition). Clonezilla live is suitable for single machine backup and restore. While Clonezilla SE is for massive deployment, it can clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone efficiency. At the NCHC&#8217;s Classroom C, Clonezilla SE was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took only about 10 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via multicasting!<\/p><!--CusAds0--><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The instructions that is on their website is very detailed.
