DeployStudio's "Freeze home directories content (restore at reboot)". The script that runs at first boot checks for any existing backups. If none are found, it uses ditto (ditto --rsrc ) to create a copy of each home directory from /Users to /private/dss_homedirs_ref/. If there is an existing backup of a user in /private/dss_homedirs_ref/, the script uses rsync ( rsync -av --delete ) to restore the home folder.

(A word of caution here; If there is an existing backup and changes have been made to the user's home directory, the rsync command will delete the files that don't exist in the backup after a reboot.) By default, the Shared folder is not included in the backup and restore process.
