Hello!
It's probably safer and better to use Windows Disk Management - IF it will shrink a partition that is currently in use by Windows.
Hello!
That's because, more or less, Redo is designed to back up the entire drive.
When backing up, it records the size of the entire drive. Come restoration time, if the destination drive is smaller than the drive that was backed up, Redo will puke.
I use Clonezilla to back up individual partitions. I'm sure other may have different methods...

I backed up a 20 GB Lite partition on my internal 1 TB drive(sdb1) and tried to install it on a 20GB partition on a 250GB external drive(sdb2)
When it asked for a drive to reinstall to and I pointed at sdb2 it threw an error that the drive is smaller than the original.
I would expect an error if the partition was smaller but not the drive.

A gun in your hand is worth more than a whole police force on the phone.
