For backups and duplicates, check out dump(8) and restore(8). Partition/slice resizing is the specialty of fdisk(8) and disklabel(8). But please, read the documentation before jumping into it, especially with the partitioning. You can really mess up a disk with those. At the very least, back up all your files (which you implied you were going to do, but I'll mention it anyways). Hope this helps! -Henrik W Lund
