Yes, you can split the image file to a size of your choice. |

Partimage is good if you are cloning identically sized partitions |
| 18 |
(perfect for a backup). It's a bit more involved if the partitions |
| 19 |
are different sizes as you will have to resize them thereafter using |
| 20 |
something like e.g. gparted. |
