If you only want to make and maintain backups of your Linux system, then install Timeshift, it's available through Synaptic, or the stable repo tab in our MX Package Installer. As an aside, when using most Windows tools, you'll need to have use a native Windows filesystem for the image backups. Tame the Windows beast (yes, it's possible, but I hate it) or use a proprietary Windows tool to do the job. You could do it, but the ball's in your court. That lock state will force a complete partition backup, instead of just copying the used portions, so to use a native Linux app to image or dump Windows partitions, you will need a very large storage volume and you'll be purchasing a "long wait" as it dumps the filesystem to an image equalling the size of the full windows partition.
Now to answer your question more fully, partimage is one of a myriad of Linux tools to perform cloning etc, BUT, if you're working with any Windows version from 8 onwards, there's a high likelihood that Windows Fastboot, Windows Update, hibernation, or any number of Windows annoyances will get in the way of using a Linux tool to backup partitions by the STUPID Windows lock state being forced onto what it calls C: MR has a slightly annoying habit of loading drivers specific to the machine you're creating the image onto, so what I would do is find the most complex and latest model machine you can of the type you work with, create the ISO on that machine, burn it to a USB stick and use that for all your operations across your machines. If you already have MR installed to a windows system, use the Boot disk builder and create an ISO that can be "burnt" to a Thumb drive. Nothing as fast as Macruim Reflect for Windows systems.
