I think so, at least you do the way I use it because you boot the
machine off the Clonezilla CD, then mount the device/partition you're
backing up to and select the device/partition being backed up.
But Clonezilla also has a whole network mode of operation involving a
Clonezilla server, so I can't rule it out ... maybe someone else can?

Do you need to shut your machine down to use clonezilla? After a quick
skim of the site, I can't find anything that says you don't.

Is there any compression? Does it span multiple CDs if necessary?
It does an image copy and knows enough about most filesystems to
only copy the used portions of the disk. Yes it compresses, no it
doesn't split - or write CD's directly. It lets you store the image
in a variety of places (network mount via samba, NFS, or ssh), local
disks which could be USB external, etc.). After the image is
stored, you can use a command line to convert the image to a
bootable DVD image containing clonezilla and the image. But it
doesn't split and you have to use some other utility to burn the
DVD. It would probably work pretty well to install clonezilla to
boot from a large USB disk where you could store images directly and
restore from them.
