The documentation recommends running sudo ./installfog.sh and answering the prompts instead of using -y. Skipping the prompts can leave the install half-configured. ### Do I need boot disks or CD media to image computers with FOG? No, FOG is described as not using boot disks or CDs. It performs the work over TFTP and PXE. ### Can I manage FOG clients from outside my local network? Yes, but remote management from anywhere requires a public-facing FOG Server. ### Why might unexpected network adapters show up in FOG host records? They can come from the legacy FOG Client Host Registration module. That module reports every adapter Windows sees, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and virtual Wi-Fi Direct adapters. ## Alternatives - Carbon Copy Cloner: Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) features an interface designed to make the cloning and backup procedure very intuitive. - Clonezilla: Open-source partition and disk imaging solution with multicast support, capable of cloning over 40 computers simultaneously. - Macrium Reflect: Securely backup data, clone and image disks using local, network, or USB drives with a subscription model accommodating personal and commer… - ManageEngine Endpoint Central: Secure and manage IT devices with features like automated patching, asset intelligence, remote troubleshooting, data protection, and securi… - MiniTool ShadowMaker - O&O DiskImage: Effortlessly create images of your computer, partitions while operating, recover files easily, even if Windows fails, with secure and encry… - Paragon Backup & Recovery: Paragon Backup & Recovery is an advanced backup and recovery software. - R-Linux - Redo Rescue: Redo Rescue is an easy-to-use backup and recovery solution that can restore a fully working system from a backup image, even to a blank new… - Rescuezilla: Free, user-friendly disk cloning and imaging software, boots from USB for Windows, Mac, and Linux. - Serva 32/64: Serva is an Automated PXE Server Solution Accelerator based on an all-in-one portable multi-server engine including BINL(RIS/WDS), HTTP, FT… - SuperDuper!: SuperDuper makes recovery painless, because it makes creating a fully bootable backup painless. --- Source: Our Local Host (https://ourlocalhost.com/app/1287/fog-project), the self-hosted and open-source app directory.
