[GRLUG] backup/restore & changing partition size

Been having problems trying to move a partition to a smaller physical size
(but plenty of room for the file system) on a Windoze embedded box w/NTFS
(i.e. the original partition was 50GB w/10GB of files, .. the new drive
is a 30GB SSD).

Partimage or Clonezilla won't work, as it's low level and must use the
same partition size or bigger; tar tools won't work, as they do not get
the MBR (though that can be done manually).

Anyone dealt with a problem like this?

	TIA,
