Abstract

See full text

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is a method and system for performing computer system cloning. A program on a client system requests a system image and a system customization from a server system. Space requirements are received from the server system and then the client system uses these space requirements to set up temporary storage space. An image file corresponding to the system image that was requested is then received from the server system and stored in the temporary storage space. The client system then recreates the system image from the image files. The image files are then deleted from the temporary storage space on the client system. A customization file corresponding to the requested system customization is then received from the server system and stored in the temporary storage space on the client system. The customization file is applied to the system image on the client system and then the temporary storage space is deleted. Additional embodiments include a system and storage medium for performing computer system cloning.
