Source files that get added to the application are copied to the selected destination folders on the remote locations. The selected source files can also come from different computers in a computer network so that Remote Batch Copy provides an reliable way to keep files in sync on multiple remote locations.

All available network connections are discovered and added to the list of possible destination nodes. The user may select some or all of the nodes for the process. The source files can come from any directory of a connected computer. Depending on the settings of the application the files get overwritten if they exist or backed up first and then overwritten.

The user does have the option to copy selected files to only one network node by dragging and dropping files onto that node in the program interface. Otherwise the files will be copied to all selected destination nodes.

Remote Batch Copy can query and display network information of each node and also search for nodes that do not appear in the list that is automatically generated at program start.

The software program comes with a second mode called Delete Remote Files which is the exact opposite of the default operation. Selecting this mode will delete the selected files from all remote locations that have been added to the queue.

Configurations can be saved in sessions to be able to perform the configured operations again. Unattended Batch Copies can be executed this way which basically means that the whole operation will run in silent mode in the background requiring no user interaction.

PC Network Clone is a disk copy software that can copy the contents of a hard drive to one or multiple other drives that are connected to each other over a network.

The Home Edition can copy the contents of a hard disk to up to three client computers with a maximum speed of up to 9 Gigabytes per minute which should be more than enough for home usage. It does have some other limitations in place: Only IDE and SATA hard disks are supported but files can be copied from all filesystems.

The professional disk copy version has a wider range of supported hardware (Firewire, USB..), an almost 7 times higher transfer rate maximum and a maximum client limit of 20.

Technically a Linux Live CD is used to boot the source PC and distribute the data to the other hard disks. Those can be on the same computer or on computers connected over the network.
