NTFS, by default, does not want you to restore to a FAT based disk.  This
would lose the security benefits of NTFS.  If anybody knows a way to restore
a backup of an NTFS partitioned file to a non-NTFS partitioned file, this
would create a security breach in NTFS

As Travis pointed out to me parted also doesn't handle NTFS. We need a Free
Software solution for that.

Maybe a backup utility that would allow us to restore everything on a new
partition layout?

We need to suggest backups more prominently in our promo materials anyway.
