Because of a need to resize my ext3 partition (qtparted wont do it) I have to backup everything on the partition and delete/recreate it. I do not want to have to go through the trouble of reinstalling the os and spending hours configuring it properly.
So is there a way to backup the entire system and restore it without issue?
If I were to copy every folder and its contents on the root directory into a tarball would that be enough to preserve everything? Is there any special options needed to insure a proper backup?
