elohelomg Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What would be the most efficient way to clone a disk for a set of 10 computers. I was thinking of installing Acronis and doing universal backups to a external drive thats setup with FTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonar2 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I like:Image for Dos/Windows (www.terabyteunlimited.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.mt Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Acronis, EuseUs Todo Back up or similar will do this for you.For speed I would use an external usb drive/s to restore from. If you try to restore image from lan it will be slower. Over vpn or internet I would not even go there.Should the operating system be Windows & the pc's you are cloning are going to be connected to a Workgroup / Active Directory Windows server. I would advice that Acronis is set to create a new SID (unique security identifier) for the new drives. http://www.acronis.com/support/documentation/ABR11.5/index.html#1351.html . I believe Microsoft have a tool called SysPrep as well.If this is not done you will end up with a load of hassle on the network.Hope this helps & all the best on your project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
