8.8. NTFS

OK, NTFS isn't an application. It is a file system used by Microsoft operating system Windows NT and its descendents, including Windows 2000 and Windows XP. You can back it up and restore to it from Linux with ntfsclone , one of the NTFS utilities in the ntfsprogs suite, available from http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/downloads.html .

These scripts will create NTFS partitions, but will not put a file system on them. It is not clear from the docs whether ntfsclone will lay down a file system on a virgin partition or not.
