    Hi,

    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.

    Hi,

    I think this forum is not the correct one. Let's forget about it. I've posted it again in the Clonezilla/Help forum.

    Sorry.

    Xuo.
