That's what I'm talking about...If you hear that they will be showing off the vanilla cloning, let us know. I won't be there but if any of you are going to be there, stop in and check out the cloning capabilities. I am going to send some of our teachers by.
Jim...Yes we will have a booth at FETC with hardware agnostic cloning. We will be cloning from an old Dell to a new HP and a laptop. Same image, no problems.
How much longer does it take to clone between two different types of PC's? Are there any other advantages or disadvantages of Fiddlehead vanilla cloning?
It actually takes a lot less time than using Ghost or any other such imaging tool. It takes about 4-10 minutes per PC with no prep work required. The only disadvantage is that you have to build an initial image (one time only process). There are plenty of advantages... you have a lot fewer images, you can purchase hardware based upon the best deal of the day, and not have to stay with Dell, or HP, or Lenovo just because you already have those types of PC's and you don't want to have to build new images every time the hardware changes.
