This was the only copy of the backup data I had. I managed to
recover the data by attempting to repair the filesystem (ext4) using fsck
which put the data in lost+found. The only snag was that all the
(thousands

This.
Also, what I've learnt recently is to periodically archive your backup -
either to another HDD or to some other media.
That's what I do.

partition (that is ext4) and so create a smaller .img file to burn to an

I found out how to do it in the end by using losetup to associated it
with a device, but in an unmounted state. I could then run resize2fs.
Unfortunately I couldn't then work out how to shrink the img file :(

I thought the same (go back to ext3 or maybe bite the bullet and try btrfs)
but in fairness this is the only time it's happened. I
Dependant on what you're trying to do, you may find it easier to copy the data
to a new partition, then re-build the MBR if you need GRUB etc. I don't know

I've downloaded ArchLinux for the Raspberry Pi, but it's a 2GB image.
I've a 1GB SD, which the content should fit on, so I'm trying to resize it.
