    'm trying to back up an installation from an SD card to a single .img file with Clonezilla, but it seems to only allow me to back up a single partition.

    What version of Clonezilla are you using?

    In the common case (where the device you are imaging is a disk), CZ asks part way through the menus whether you want to work with whole disks, or individal partitions. Firsly, check to make sure you are not skipping over this step (partition mode may be the default?).

    Then- in the case of your SD card does this show up in /dev in the way a hard disk would? (e.g. /dev/sda for the whole device, and then /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 etc.) for the partitions?
