How safe is iPartition?
We should start by saying that we strongly recommend that you back-up any valuable data before using any disk utility, and we are unable to accept any responsibility if you disregard this advice (which is re-iterated in the iPartition User’s Guide). Please understand that, even assuming that our software contains no bugs whatsoever, a large number of factors entirely beyond our control can cause loss of data, including power failures, lightning strikes, hardware failure, logic glitches or random bit errors, kernel bugs, interference from third-party software (virus killers, system hacks and the like), and even the actions of other people. However, with that out of the way, we are reasonably confident that, in normal operation, iPartition is very unlikely to damage your data; we have taken care writing the critical areas of code such that they will abort rather than damaging the filesystem structure, and we expend considerable time and effort testing the software to ensure that that is
