Echo Cloning Overview

The following types of clones can be created using Echo:

Connections-Terminals have the ability to connect to remote
servers utilizing various types of protocols. The RDP protocol is
used to connect to Microsoft Windows Terminal Servers. The ICA
protocol is used to establish connections to Citrix servers. The VDI
protocol, used by the VMware View Client, allows a user to connect
to a VMware View Server. Administrators can use the Echo
software to clone these types of connections from one terminal,
store them within their Echo Connections database, and then apply
them to other terminals.

Terminal Settings-Terminal settings are the display, sound,
keyboard, mouse, and password configurations for that particular
terminal. Administrators can use Echo to clone these settings from
one terminal, store them within the Echo Thin Client Settings
database, and then apply them to other terminals.

Profiles- Profiles are a way to combine multiple choices from both
the Terminal Settings and Connections configurations to create
an arrangement of options tailored to the needs of the user.
Administrators can use Echo to clone specific profiles to be applied
to whichever terminals require these combined settings.

Disk Images-The fourth cloning option that Echo offers is the
ability to clone the entire disk image of a terminal. A disk image
includes everything that is stored on the DOM on that terminal,
including the operating system itself. This does not include BIOS
settings that have been saved elsewhere. Disk image clones are
inventoried and managed by name within the Echo Disk Images
database, but are physically stored on an NFS share, CFIS, or FTP
server on your local area network.
