automatic restore from ghost file

I am working with several internet cafe's, and looking for a solution to restore the computers automatically from backup.
The perfect solution would be if I could restore the computers to the backed up version automatically, on a daily/weekly basis.
I am using Symantec's Norton ghost now, when the ghost file is located on the the second partition but I'm looking for a solution that will automate the process.
I would also like to know if you have any other recomended software for this purpose instead of ghost.

You may want to try "deepfreeze", when a computer is rebooted it restores everything back to the way it was when you installed it.

Do a bit more research on Ghost. With a ghost partition on the wkst and a ghost server you can set the machine to reload a image each time [or when you want] to auto reghost. Learn more at symantec's web site.
