You can download it from bombich.com. You use NetRestore Helper to create your image which you can store on a firewire drive. If you boot from a bootable partition on the firewire dirve, you can then use NetRestore to copy your image up to the local hard drive. If you want to do this over a network, you will need an OSX Server to run NetBoot. It works basically the same way only you are booting off of a bootable netboot partition on the OSX Server and then you use the Bombich products.

So far we have been storing a pristine image of our computers on an external harddrive, and that's very unwieldy, so I am looking for a way to clean and refresh (or update) machines without re-installing operating system and contents one-by-one. I know there is ghosting available for Windows machines, but have not been able to find similar mechanisms for an OS X lab. Any info will be highly appreciated.
