[Clonezilla-live] Automatic restore

[Sebastien D. <sd...@gm...>]

Hi,
I want to use CloneZilla to restore without manual steps. I want a
thing like this:

- boot from CloneZilla
- I choose one type of image
- CloneZilla gets image from a ssh server and restore the disk

Does anybody have already make this?

If you are doing a lot of this you might want to set up a drbl server to pxe 
boot into clonezilla and hold the images.

The goal is to *avoid* to setup a new network  (pxe, dhcp, dns,
labla....), but only in the USB key (CloneZilla and image) or CD.

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.
