Administering Client Computers

The Copy Items command does not copy system software that is hidden (that is, not
visible in the Finder). It can copy the Applications folder, Library folder, and Users folder,
as well as any folders at the root of the hard disk that were created by the computer’s
administrator user.

Important:

You cannot use the Copy Items feature to copy Mac OS X system software

to client computers

To restore files using the Copy Items command:

1

Make a master copy of the volume that has the files to be restored.

You can use any volume, such as a spare hard disk, a CD, or a mounted disk image
(.dmg) file.

2

Mount the master copy volume on the administrator computer.

Master copy volumes must be local volumes, not mounted from over a network.
