 The destination module(s) size depend on the level of compression
used. Most imaging programs will automatically split the saveset
into separate modules of around 2.0 Gigabytes each. Alternately,
you can set the program to split/span at the 670.0 Megabyte size
so they'll fit on CD-R disks.
 Depending on your disk size, you might be able to create a new
partition at the end of your disk to save images to .If you do this,
the time to image & verify is greatly reduced from imaging to a
removable disks directly It's not possible to image a partition onto
itself. .
