Multicast? Incremental rollup?

Hi, I've recently started looking into True Image as a replacement to Ghost for our clients. One crucial feature we get from Ghost however is the ability to multicast an image to several machines at once (in essence if we're rolling out a dozen PCs, we can slap the image on in the time it would take to do one PC). Does True Image support this at all in any version?

Also, we're thinking about using True Image's incremental or differential backup features for backing up data off-site. Is there anyway to "roll up" the incremental or differential image files into the original full backup. IOW, we can't regularly perform full backups over a WAN link, nor can we store an infinite number of image files. The ability to merge the full backup with an incremental/differential would be enormously helpful.

thanks
