With the Apple Software Restore command line utility (asr), you can use to restore software from custom images, or to "clone" entire volumes. The asr utility works with Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) volumes only.
This utility is intended for use by manufacturing and professional customers. AppleCare does not provide technical support for asr, but technical support solutions may be available. For more information see the AppleCare Products & Services website (
http://www.apple.com/support/products/).
For more information, open Terminal and type:
man asr
Note: Apple Software Restore is also an application that is used to restore software from discs included with a computer. The "traditional" restore application does not use Terminal or the command line.
