Hi All,

I am trying to backup and restore a NTFS filesystem on a Linux system.

I have two aims to do this.

One is to backup and restore by a file unit.

I read the man pages of the following commands: ntfs-3g, ntfs-3g.probe,
ntfs-3g.secaudit, ntfs-3g.usermap.

And now I think I can do it with proper use of those commands.

Another aim is to backup and restore filesystem parameters.

What I can think of now is using ntfsclone by the following
procedures.

  Procedure1.
    Backup a NTFS filesytem by ntfsclone with metadata.

  Procedure2.
    Restore a NTFS filesytem by ntfsclone from the data producted by
    Procedure1.

  Procedure3.
    Remove all files in the NTFS filesystem restored by Procedure2.

My questiions are:

  Q1. Can the procedures I wrote above work according to my
      expectation?

  Q2. Is there any other smart way to do this?

Sincerely Yours.
