No, you would not have to partition unless you wanted to.  A backed
up image is actually a file.  Nothing more, nothing less.  And a True
Image backup can be mounted just as if it were a real hard drive.  So
you can restore a single file for example, rather than a whole
partition.

All the backed up partition does is become a file on the external
hard drive.  Another backed up partition would become a second file.
You are limited only by the space on your external drive.  You can
expect at least 2:1 compression.
 
Best,

Yuki
