If you want to set-up more clients to save or restore at once, choose save disk or restore-disk 

In this example I will choose restore disk.

Figure 10 shows the save image that you want to restore to your clients.

Clonezilla and GParted: Restoring Image From a Bigger Disk to a Smaller Disk

I'm using: GParted, Ubuntu 12.04, Clonezilla Server

Copy image file from a 500GB to a 320GB Hard Disk. Make sure that the files in 500GB should not exceed in 280GB. First thing you will do is reduce 500GB drive using gparted to 280GB. Next Save the newly created file to your clonezilla server. Then restore the file using the expert or advance mode, same steps on how to restore the image, then you will be shown this image
































just choose ok, then in the image below choose -k































next just choose the default settings or just press enter, and your image is ready to be restored.
