How to convert clonezilla backup image to virtual machine

clonezillaphysical-to-virtualvirtual-machinesvirtualboxvirtualization

I have a 30gB tar.gz disk image of a physical debian machine, created by clonezilla – what's the easiest list of steps to follow to convert it to a virtual machine?
Do i have to necessarily make .iso? I ran into trouble making a big .iso like that with genisoimage.

Here are the steps:

  • Create New Virtual Machine and boot from clonezilla ISO image of CD.
  • Restore clonezilla image like normal procedure.
