Some enterprise network/computer maintainers/administrators with rich experience may know of two ways of cloning OS through network at least: load network adapter driver under DOS (needs you to remember many lines of DOS commands to configure the IP, and more) and make use of the PXE boot function of network adapter (requires your network card to support this feature). Suppose you need to install the same operating system to multiple computers with similar configurations, then using Symantec GhostCast Server+ Symantec Ghost will make the whole process become much simpler and more efficient. Symantec Ghost is a well-known network clone client tool for data on hard drives, while Symantec GhostCast Server (GhostSrv for short) serves as its corresponding server-side program, which uses the network multicast technology, and implements one-to-many data transmission via Symantec Ghost. Of course, it is an old technology, but in many environments that is still practical and works all right. Network clone (also called multi-cast clone) technology is mainly used to install operating system to, restore data to, backup/copy data from, or make system image from the hard disks of multiple client computers within a local area network (LAN) in batch, thus minimize the time you spend on installing the clients’ OS or backuping data one by one every time.
