Sounds pretty interesting. How long have you had this software in production? Have you seen any major/minor issue due to its use?

The original products was provided by http://www.duocor.com
The new one, which is first becoming available publicly, is from http://leapfrogsoftware.com/ I don't know if the auto-restore on reboot flag is available yet in this one, I am working with early versions right now

To answer both questions at once:
The tool we used to use is fading away and a new one is emerging, but the concept is the same in both cases. The main drive partition (i.e. C:) is configured as the admin wants it and the hidden/backup version of it is created. You can set the flag to restore that hidden version on demand, on a failure, or on every reboot.
In the case of a public library scenario, you might set it to restore itself at every reboot and then reboot the server after the library closes each night.
In terms of local data that needs to be updated, you simply update that info and set the flag to recreate the hidden backup on this new version.
We deployed this scenario on laptops for a major financial institution.
They
send a user home with a corporate laptop with a C: and a D: drive. The
user
can store data on D:, but every time they reboot the C: is restored to
the
clean state.
