DRBL is for diskless clients. However, it includes Clonezilla SE (Server 
Edition). If you want to image or clone the disk/partition of client 
machine, it's Clonezilla mode.

I think you mean Clonezilla. For DRBL, the client does not have to be 
imaged. Just config and run the script, your clients can run it directly 
without a disk after PXE booting.
