Hey, I have an external 1 terabyte HDD and would like to back up my Ubuntu system onto it for easy restoration later if I accidentally wipe the internal drive or it fails. Unfortunately my external HDD is using NTFS format (because I would like to be able to allow Windows users to access the drive whilst also storing >4gig files making fat32 impossible).
My question is is there a way I can back up my entire system onto an NTFS system understanding that it doesn't support Unix permissions or filenames (a lot of characters are illegal on NTFS). Or will I have to resize my NTFS partition on the external drive and create an ext3 on alongside it for storage?
