I have heard about a command split. Would it work to pipe the output

I have not used split either since it was required for posting
files through mail (which was initially limited to 50K).
I made a try, and it apparently works :
sudo ntfsclone --save-image --output - /dev/sda2 | gzip | split -b 2G
- sda2.clone.gz
On second thought, you should use "split -b 2GB" (instead of 2G)
as 2G might be one over the maximum allowed size.

this will produce several files : sda2.clone.gza, sda2.clone.gzb, etc.
which you can cat for restoring :
cat sda2.clone.gz* | gzip -d | sudo ntfsclone -r -o /dev/sda2 -
Note : I have no experience restoring Windows to a different
device. There might be driver issues for booting.
Would you please share your findings ?
