Hey Peeps, I've got an issue with FOG's Multicasting that I can't figure out, wondering if anyone can help. I get the error below whenever I try to use the multicasting. "Can't read the following volume file: ... /stdin.001" I know the network is fine with multicasting, and FOG creates and deploys single images spot on. Its just I get this error no matter what image I try to multicast, how many machines etc. I did a bit of googling and didn't come up with much. Though a thread on Clonezilla (which i know nothing about) suggested it was something to do with the disk configuration. Im not sure how relevant that info is, considering its a completely different cloning solution. Any help would be appreciated. Sean Ps. Oh, Ive got Fog 0.28 running on Ubuntu Server 9.10 - (Its a VM, though that should make much difference I guess)

Hi recently I had 3 Laptops to setup. All running Win8. The plan was to create build one as I wanted it and make an image and deploy this image to the other 2. I had decided to use Clonezilla but I couldn't configure the Laptop to boot to CD (or anything other than the HDD for that matter). I noticed that it was using EUFI for booting. Does EUFI stop us from boot from another device? Soon I'm gonna have 15 Laptops to setup so I'd like to have a method in place. Many thanks

Hi - i am just working on creating a recovery partition for a laptop which i want to automatically image upon a key press from the end user - i'm using clonezilla and i have created the following partitions, system reserved (100mb) local disc (200gb) windows 7 recovery (10gb) clonezilla installed image (22gb) image from clonezilla is on here i have used easybcd to create another boot option called "recovery" which boots into the recovery partition to start the clonezilla program. basically i have copied clonezilla onto the recovery partition which runs - but i'm struggling to get the image to automatically set off:confused: any help will be great!

Our school acquired 60 donated computers with all the disks wiped clean. I have the reinstall disks too. I've already imaged a bunch of them with clonezilla server. But I also tried a software called RedoBackup.This is a clean , pretty gui on the well known partclone. "Redo Backup and Recovery is so simple that anyone can use it. It is the easiest, most complete disaster recovery solution available. It allows bare-metal restore, which means that even if your hard drive melts or gets completely erased by a virus, you can have a completely-functional system back up and running in as little as 10 minutes. All your documents and settings will be restored to the exact same state they were in when the last snapshot was taken. Redo Backup and Recovery is a live CD, so it does not matter if you use Windows or Linux. You can use the same tool to backup and restore every machine. And because it is open source released under the GPL, it is completely free for personal and commercial use." I tried it an it and it is now the disk I am going to use for imaging single machines to a USB drive or a network share. I also can give this to the rare volunteer who wants to help out around the computer lab. Easy GUI Backup Solution, Bare Metal Restore, Open Source GPL Recovery

Tried to restore a Clonezilla image over the weekend, but it failed stating that the image is "not a Partclone image" (though it was created with 'Zilla. I've tried the version of Clonezilla that it was likely created with, but that didn't help. Google suggests lots of "sudo this" or "simply..." but I don't even know where the commands should go. Even the one that suggested using Clonezilla's Advanced Mode was fruitless as the option they said they used (ntfsclone) wasn't there. Anyone got any bright ideas?
