This should get fixed with "2014.2.15 (January 23, 2014), 2014.2.15AR.1"

see also bug #1295030 ([SRU] backport request)

Closing this bug for now by setting status="incomplete", because both
versions mentioned here ntfs-3g/Ubuntu 8.10 are not longer supported.

If you cannot agree please feel free to reopen this bug.

Thanks for reporting and regards

Title:
  ntfsresize doesn't back up the boot sector

Status in ntfs-3g package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntfsprogs

  Hello,

  I just resized an NTFS partition using gparted, and then by mistake overwritten its boot sector with something else.
  NTFS partitions should end with a copy of the boot sector (first 512 bytes). However, I didn't find the backup there.
  It caused me quite a lot of trouble. At the end I used the original backup, which was found where the original file system ended.

  To summarize: ntfsresize should copy the boot sector to the end of the
  file system after it resizes it.

  I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, the version of ntfsprogs is 2.0.0-1ubuntu2.

  Thanks,
  Noam
