Ghost

Does anyone know of an equivalent product for the macintosh that is similar to symantec ghost for the PC?

I need to find a solution for distributing builds (eg: software and OS) to large numbers of workstations over a WAN using IP Multicast (not chatty Appletalk!)

Thanks in advance.
 
You want Apple Software Restore (available on restore CDs or downloadable from Apple). It also comes with a scripting addition for Disk Copy (comes with the OS). You drop the script in a scripts folder in your Disk Copy folder. Then you make a disk image with Disk Copy and process it with the script (forget the name) which should show up under the scripts menu in DC. Put that image in the configurations folder insude the ASR folder and run ASR as needed. All this is in the ASR Read Me. Have fun.

PS- You'll need to boot into OS9 to make and resore OSX images. I haven't used ASR with OSX, but this guy, http://www.bombich.com/mactips/asrx.html, assures us it still works.
