NetRestore Description

Restore a master disk image NetRestore is a software deployment tool developed in AppleScript Studio. You can use NetRestore to restore a master disk image to a computer's hard disk while that disk image is hosted locally, on a network via AFP, or on the internet via HTTP.NetRestore can also be used in conjunction with NetBoot to fully automate the deployment of a lab full of machines. NetRestore was designed to be very easy to use, yet flexible, powerful and extensible. Here are some key features of "NetRestore": · Restores a disk image to a hard drive via block-level or file-level copying · Despite its name, NetRestore clones local hard drives and restores disk images located locally or across a network. · Pre and post-restore customization tools to set computer specific information such as the open firmware password, computer name, network settings, etc. · Full automation · Easy configuration · Customizable · Includes a helper tool for easily creating master disk images and NetInstall-Restore image sets (for use with a NetBoot server) · Includes an enterprise-level database management and administration tool to manage machine-specific information and provide reports about the machines that you manage. This management tool also integrates with Apple Remote Desktop's Postgres database. · Open source and FREE. Requirements: · ARD 3.0 or higher required for ARD integration · Intel-based Mac + Windows XP required for dual-boot deployment. What's New in This Release: · Updated the method for applying changes to the target volume's network configuration. Included a newer version of ncutil as well. · Resolved some issues handling errors during NTFS restores. · The NetInstall-Restore disk image can now be mounted and restored to a local volume, allowing you to boot from a local volume and get similar behavior to a NetBooted client. This is a good option for deployments in which a "hidden" partition is leveraged for restoring the production partition. · NRH no longer requires 2X space on the target volume to store the master disk image. If 2X may be required, NRH warns you accordingly if 2X space is not available.
