Clonezilla Imaging software for backup and restore partition from network

To do life easier we want to find a simple path that accomplish our task with in few time and little hard work. This will apply to every where in life. And system administrator is not the exception for that he also want to do his job with easier or reduce the time from to do his task.  For that he always try to find a software or create script that automate the task that are required.

   

            For example to setup system for user he required to OS suppose windows XP or Windows 7 or Linux and the installed other software’s and configure setting for that system that take at least 30 to 50 Min to system get up. And what if he want to setup more than 1 system suppose 30 system for that if he do his task as single system then it may be his entire day will pass to setup all 30 system and if  there are other task he have no time to complete  that so for smarter work he should go for automated task. For example he can go for network installation of OS using answer file but till he have to install other software and configure setting to each system this will defiantly reduce some time but till he do not have a time to do other pending task that are waiting for him. For so he should go for ghost (imaging software) that dump the same setting and software to other system this will reduce the his time frame and he will got time to see other task that are waiting for him. There are many software imaging and restoring partition.
