Hi Nikki,We call this process as \'mirror\'. There are mirror image for serves,
caches, backups and so on. In server side of the web system, we create multiple
mirror servers and place them at different download locations such as IK, US,
Australia and so on. This prevents the central server from overload. Now,
scripts can be written so that when changes or updates are done in the central
server, contents of all mirror servers are updated, in real time. Incremental
update ensures that only those files that have been changed get updated in the
mirror server.Hope this answers your question,Regards,Shashi

presently writing a user manual for a Linux version of \'Ghost\'.. and I am
battling with a \'Clone\' conceptI have to explain to the user that they can
\'clone\' a machine (as in COPY the entire contents of a machine\'s hard
disk drive) versus they can also make clones from the \'cloned image\' (As in
make a new machine based on the image that has been cloned from another
machine)Sheesh.. I just seem to go around in circles with this one..
