Online imaging

Online imaging means that the master system is imaged live (without restarting the machine or suspending operations). Online imaging can be performed remotely whenever you need. The disadvantage is that you have to install imaging software that is included in the master image. This is not always rational.

To perform online imaging

1. Configure the master system.
2. Install Management Console.

3. Install Management Agent on the master system either locally by using the setup program, or remotely by using Management Console.

   After Management Agent is installed, you can image the master system online (without restarting the machine) at any time.

4. Connect the console to the master system, click Create image -> Next -> A master image. Follow the instructions of the Master Image Creator wizard to configure and launch the imaging operation. The image can be saved in a network folder, on detachable media (such as an USB drive) or on removable media (such as a DVD).
