The name is correct. It always use .000, .001, .002 .... because
the image can be broken into several pieces, in some cases.

You will use the file you created:

diskimage.000

(do not forget of typing the extension .000), check the restore box, and
point to the partition (its size has to be greater than or equal to the size
of the original partition) in the new disk that will receive the backup:
