I believe Gparted is a Linux distro. At first, I thought you were referring to resizing an NTFS partition from NetBSD. I've never been able to read or write NTFS from NetBSD. I was able to build fuse-ntfs-3g for FreeBSD from ports, but failed in NetBSD with pkgsrc. For backing up, you could use an external hard drive, USB, or better yet, eSATA. I've been thinking about ordering a MicroNet Fantom external hard drive, would go for eSATA model. Tom
