The drbl server software does all the setup for you on a 2nd NIC where you do 
cloning, so it's not something to avoid.  But USB/iso's work fine if you have 
room to add the image.  Have you read the docs here?
http://www.clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/fine-print.php?path=./04_Create_Recovery_Clonezilla/00-boot-clonezilla-live-cd.doc
The drbl server includes everything you need to create the iso/usb copies too, 
so you can use a server version with a 2nd nic to save the images and clone when 
the targets are near it, and build usb/iso copies from those images for targets 
elsewhere.  Or you can boot clonezilla-live to the menu anywhere and connect to 
your drbl server's storage via nfs/sshfs through it's primary LAN NIC - you just 
have to answer a few more choices before you can pick the image that way.
