You've been lucky so far, but that luck will run out. That doesn't change the partition size, so that will need to happen next. Their official conversion process is to backup the data, reformat using the desired file system, and restore. ![]() MSFT has made hybrid file systems which are not compatible with Linux tools at all. Can you shrink an NTFS partition? Perhaps. ![]() This is because NTFS doesn't use the same permissions model as Linux/Unix does, so user/group/permissions and ACLs are lost. Some Linux backup tools **can** use NTFS storage, but many cannot. If you don't have time to figure all this out, go purchase new storage and just swap the disks. There are many tiny details that will be missed otherwise. Before picking a tool, look for " failed" on the internet and in these forums so you know some common failures. How will you know what is missing or failing or learn the restore steps without practice?Īs to the tool to use, there are many. If you haven't tested the backup+restore at least 3 times, it isn't a backup either. If it isn't sufficient to put back what you had before, then it isn't enough of a backup. Actually, I consider daily backups mandatory, just so I can sleep. If you list the applications and servers that are used, perhaps someone could help? I dunno.īefore any upgrade, a backup is mandatory. What needs to be backed up is completely dependent on what you've installed and how you use the system. ![]()
