It allows us to make a "snapshot" of the drive and then CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) will make a single file for us to use on an identical computer. If we want to do it over a network, we can do that with the combination of CCC and NetRestore which is also on the CCC site. Here is the link to it: http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html Our Mac support company here in St Louis uses this as well. It is really great software.
