Here is my situation. I have dual-boot on my macbook with Ubuntu/OSX. ~30gb partition for Ubuntu and the rest for OSX on a 256gb SSD. When I first started with Linux I didn't know much at all, and just followed on online guide for dual-boot which said that 20gb is fine, so I went with a little more at 30gb. But now since I want to keep running Linux I want some more space for the Linux partition. What I want to do is resize the two partitions, take some from Mac partition and give to Linux partition. I would love to be able to do this without having to wipe data. Is this at all possible, maybe with something like gparted? Of course with this kind of task things can go wrong so of course I want to backup my system. What is the best way to back up my entire Ubuntu partition as is? DD, tar, clonezilla? And after once I have the partitions resized how do I restore? Would it restore with the partition size the same? Also, I do realize this is not a Mac forum but what is a good way to back up my Mac partition, would the above mentioned methods work for Mac as well?
Thank you.
