.SH DESCRIPTION
Gnetic is a tool for create and restore backups.
Also lets you clone computers over the network.
You can make computer copies using a direct connection between two 
machines (Point\fB-2-Point\fP), or using the "link mode", that create a 
chain of nodes that sends information like a bus\fB-topology\fP net. 
With this method, theoretically you can clone up to 64 computers 
(or as many you specify) at same time that 1 or 2.
.PP
You also can to make copies "on the fly", sending information 
directly to the net without create a system image before.
Of course alwais there are the traditional option of create a system 
image and restore it locally.
