Mine saves to a sparse file either explictely given on the command line or
outputs to stdout. It can also save only metadata. In both cases the image
can be mounted by the NTFS driver or used by the ntfsprogs tools. With
tar/bzip2 it can be compressed extremely well. The fs consistency also
checked.

Is it really needed? Making the image:
ntfsimage -o ntfs.img device
restoring:
ntfsimage -o device ntfs.img
