D.1.15 Splitting an Image

You can split an image file into separate files so that you can span the entire image across several
CDs or DVDs.
When you split a device image and span it across several CDs or DVDs, you are essentially creating
a base image on the first CD or DVD. The remaining CDs or DVDs are add-on images.
To restore a device image that has been spanned across several CDs or DVDs you should restore the
first CD or DVD before restoring the remaining CDs or DVDs containing the add-on images. For
more information, see "Manually Putting an Image on a Device" on page
Restoring split Images is a manual task and can only be automated using scripted imaging. For more
information, see "Imaging a Device Using a Script" on page
To split an image:
1 Start Image Explorer.
2 Click Tools > Image split.
3 Specify an existing base image file to split, specify the directory in which to store the split
images, then specify the maximum file size of each split-image file.
