File size limit exceeded

So, it's impossible to save images of partitions NTFS on
partitions Windows (NTFS or FAT)... What obliges to create
partitions ext2 for example?

This is not an ntfsclone problem. FAT32 has a 4GB size
limit.

Of course it is possible.  Just split up the image into
multiple 
fragments, e.g. like so:

ntfsclone --save-image -o - /dev/sda1 | split -a -b 4000m -d
- windows.img

That will create windows.img000, windows.img001, etc each of
4000MiB in 
size...

Then to restore the fragments:

cat windows.img* | ntfsclone --restore-image -O /dev/sda1 -
