I would like to carve out 10 gig of the drive using parted to put a linux system

Bootit NG will resize the ntfs partition. Sort of like Partition Magic. I used it without data loss on my ntfs partition, reducing it to 10megs, and adding several other 10 meg reiserfs partitions, and a vfat to share. But as to backup, I can't help you. Ntfs is generally read only from linux, yes?
