Restoring Items from a Master Copy
Your client computers can restore
You may want to start by creating a disk image that contains the Mac OS X applications and items you want to copy. Alternatively, you can copy files from any local disk, such as a hard disk, CD, disk partition, or other disk.
The Copy Items command does not copy system software that is hidden (that is, not visible in the Finder). It can copy the Applications folder, Library folder, and Users folder, as well as any folders at the root of the hard disk that were created by the computer’s administrator user.
Important: You cannot use the Copy Items feature to copy Mac OS X system software to client computers
To restore files using the Copy Items command:
1Make a master copy of the volume that has the files to be restored.
You can use any volume, such as a spare hard disk, a CD, or a mounted disk image (.dmg) file.
2Mount the master copy volume on the administrator computer.
Master copy volumes must be local volumes, not mounted from over a network.
3Open Remote Desktop.
4Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
5Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
6Choose Manage > Copy Items.
