Help creating NetRestore Images!

Hey,

I am trying to create a NetRestore image to image other Macs on my network and I am hopping someone here can point me in the direction on how to do it. I did a clean install of OS X Lion on one the iMacs on my network and installled applications and got the system exactally the way I want it. I am ready to image, but I'm not sure how to get the image into System Image Utility on my Server.

I read somethings online which mentioned Disk Utiltiy or Carbon Copy Cloner. Would I boot off the recovery partion, choose disk utilty and then click on "Macintosh HD" and then chose new image and save it on a firewire drive? Would it be a good idea to save the image right to the server machine via the AFP file sharing or would I be better off saving to an external USB drive?

I also saw Carbon Copy Cloner was mentioned. I tried using it with the sourse as Macintosh HD and having it save the image to an external drive. Then I plugged the external drive into my server machine and mounted the drive. The probelm was after I mounted the image and opened up System Image Utility, I didn't see the image there in the sidebar? What am I doing wrong? Also can I make an image on and iMac and restore it to a MacBook pro or will there be a problem? Thanks for your help in advance!
