Is there a way to create an image for a Samsung tablet, without using Altiris or Norton Ghost?

Still requires some "app"

Keep in mind it's Android but what's to backup? It's unlike Windows. Tell the forum what's up.

I sync my tablet and if I do a full reset, I just sync it again.

I am responsible for over 1700 tablets. I just want a quicker way to get the tablets out the door. Right now I have to manually setup each tablet that leaves the company. I just wanted to cut down the time it takes to build a tablet and ship it out.

Back to the maker and demand they supply apps or such to do this.

Yes It's Android not Windows

Android uses the Play Store to distribute app which you use an account to purchase or download. An account is required to even download free apps. I'm not sure how Google licenses but if they have corporate licensing like others have said you would login to the corporate account and sync.

Woah. I install my APK files all the time.

What is this about a required account?

I have no accounting papers,
