I post this message here as I think the first place I've posted it was not the correct one.
Currently, when I create a disk image of my server, I get for ex :
-rw------- 1 root root 599031765669 juil. 6 08:40 sdi1.ext4-ptcl-img.zst
Is it possible (during the image creation), to create smaller files (of
50 or 100GB max each) which, concatenated together, will create the
600GB file as above ?
It would be possible to split this big file after the image creation but :
1) it means I'll need 2 times the file size before I remove the original
one.
2) before restoring, I'll have to create back the 600GB file. Otherwise,
Clonezilla will not understand what to restore.
Regards.
Xuo.

Enter expert mode,
https://clonezilla.org//clonezilla-live/doc/01_Save_disk_image/advanced/09-advanced-param.php
and you use have a chance to assign that:

When restoring, you do not have to concatenate them. Clonezilla will do that for you. Just follow this to restore the image:

Thank you very much, Steven.
