Hi,

Is it safe to resize primary partitions on a disk with only four in
windows using disk management? Does it make any difference if the disk
is EMBR? Once of the partitions is encrypted with VeraCrypt.

the encrypted one won't be able to resize unless the encryption layer is
installed between BIBM and the drive.

I decrypted the partition in windows and then resized it in windows. I
figured out that as there was not a partition on the indicated free
space it would be safe to resize it.

I then re-encrypted it.

I have read about backing up and encrypted partition. There is a lot
of information, so I just want to check. Will a full sector backup of
an encrypted partition product a correct backup that would be able to
be decrypted on restoration? From what I read it looks as if that
would work.
