I have not used Clonezilla. I want to clone or image four computers to a 5TB external Seagate hard drive. Two computers are Windows 7, one is a Windows 8, and the last is a Win 10 box. I seem to remember reading that Clonezilla first creates a file system on the destination drive, then proceeds to overwrite any existing information. If that is so, then the second image backup from computer #2 would erase the image from computer #1, or am I mistaken? Do I just need to partition the 5TB hard drive first, then choose each partition as a destination? Thanks, Peter
"Clonezilla first creates a file system on the destination drive, then proceeds to overwrite any existing information." -> This is for cloning, i.e., disk to disk cloning.
What you need to take images, i.e., imaging a disk. Please check this:

You can mount a disk as an image repository, and it will use the existing file system to save the images.
