I have Clonezilla installed on a USB using Rufus. Clonezilla is booting successfully.
I want to create a backup of drive C and the boot partitions to run it as VM.
Partition C is labeled as p3.
How can I additionally select P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P7?
P6 is the D drive partition, which I currently do not need.

Ok, I see. This is a destination partition where I want to save that image. In my case that will be sd2.
I have to more question. I want to make an image of partition C with Windows 11, and run it as Virtual Machine:
- Do I need to make image only of partition C ? Or hidden partitions as well? (I don't need partition D — because it is too big)
- Before I made image, do I need to install something on Windows 11 (vm driver?), to run this OS later as Virtual Machine?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I did a backup from 2 system partition. But Conezilla generate order wit 26 Files, and not one image file.
Is that right?
How can i convert this 26 files to Virtual Maschine?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There is no such tool existing for Clonezilla.
However, what you have to is just like you have done (saving), but this time you should restore the image to your virtual machine using Clonezilla live, i.e., the so-called bare-metal restoring.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I made a full backup of 500 GB disk with Clonezilla.
Image have only 16 GB.
Can I now make Virtual Machine with 30 GB from that image, or my virtual machine need 500 GB big virtual disk?
This is image with Windows 7.

The screenshot you showed is for you to mount a device as the image repository, not the source device you want to save as an image.

Yes, it's correct.
Then you should restore the image to your VM. For more info, please check

Thank you for replay, but on this link i can't find information how to convert image to virtual machine.
Is it the right link?

This is image with Windows 7.
Basically the answer is 500 GB.
