Greetings!

For backups and duplicates, check out dump(8) and restore(8). 
Partition/slice resizing is the specialty of fdisk(8) and disklabel(8).

But please, read the documentation before jumping into it, especially 
with the partitioning. You can really mess up a disk with those. At the 
very least, back up all your files (which you implied you were going to 
do, but I'll mention it anyways).

Hope this helps!
