dual boot - Backing up entire Ubuntu system before disk resize - Ask Ubuntu


thanks people pointing out question broad , hard answer. here edited question:

question: create easy-to-restore system backup ubuntu 14.04 before resizing linux partition on windows-ubuntu dual-boot system

detailed requirements:

  1. retain in ubuntu partition (/home, /usr, /bin etc)

  2. be able restored onto resize linux partition (larger original) head of partition moved.

  3. easy restoration: restore system "copying" or "cloning" backup file. don't have reinstall libraries, programs, or restore links, ~/.ssh ~/.bashrc or other system setup files.

  4. i prefer softwares such clonezilla or déjà dup. happy learn using internal utility such tar, long allows requirement 3.

current disk layout:

500 gb disk (partition1 + partition 2 + partition 3 + partition 4)

partition 1: dell utility fat (41 mb)

partition 2: windows recovery ntfs (786 mb)

partition 3: windows 7 ntfs (254 gb)

partition 4: extended (246 gb)

partition 5: filesystem ext4 (256 gb) partition 6: swap swap (10 gb)

desired disk layout:

500 gb disk (partition1 + partition 2 + partition 3 + partition 4)

partition 1: dell utility fat (41 mb)

partition 2: windows recovery ntfs (786 mb)

partition 3: windows 7 ntfs (100 gb)

partition 4: extended (354 gb)

partition 5: filesystem ext4 (356 gb) partition 6: swap swap (10 gb)

final remarks: brief procedure appreciated in case missed important procedure , sabotage backup process.

i hope resizing process go without doing restoration though.
