I have used Partition Magic in the past and it has worked really well for me.
I have Windows, OS/2 and Linux running on my (small) 1.2G disk so I had
to do a lot of partitioning and repartitioning and Partition Magic worked
like a charm. It runs on DOS and OS/2 and is completely mouse driven.
I never bothered to backup anything (I know that's stupid on my part) but
have never lost anything with Partition Magic.
