I have several computer. I want to back up all of them. They are all in window 10 with ssd. Can I backup all the system into one single harddisk and choose which system I want to boot when power up ?
I have did a research on google. But I the result is not quite what I look for. The result are talking about how to have multiple boot in a pc or how to clone one to many.
p,s. In each of the computer the disk have 3 partition in which 2 of them are system reserved. Will I affect how I clone it? I have try clone from part to part but it wipe out all existing data.

Sure. Just save them in different image names in the image repository then of course you can restore the image depends on the name.
You can refer to the step-by-step docs here: https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live-doc.php

Thanks Steven.
I want not just the image backup. But I also want to make them bootable. I want to clone all different pc system to one harddisk and make it bootable.
I have tried clone the system disk to disk. It is fine but then if I clone the second disk it will wipe out the previous copy.
I also try to clone all partition to partition. But after I clone all the partition from all the pc. But it cant boot up.

"I want to clone all different pc system to one harddisk and make it bootable. " -> So you have multiple disks from multiple PCs, and you want to put them all in one single disk?
If so, you need to have a boot manager for you, and you need to clone them based on the partitions, not the whole disks. In addition, you need to tune some of the config files in the cloned OS. This depends on the OS you want to clone, and it is somehow complicated, though.

I am using windows 10. Do you know what kind of setting I need to modify after cloning?
Can you give me some keyword for me to search for more tutorials ?

Grub can be a good boot manager if you are familiar with that. Otherwise the boot manager from MS Windows 10 should work for multiple windows coexisting in a disk.
What are the OSes you want to combine into one disk?

All the OS are in windows 10.
Should my approach work like this :
Use clonzilia clone all the partition from my old computer to my new HDD.
Then, use a boot manager to manage how it boot ?

I believe so. However, I have never done this before, so maybe you'd better to google to find how to make multiple Win10s coexist in the same disk.
