I'm about to backup my system as I want to resize the sda1 partition and I didn't think it was possible to do that with an existing system.

Most filesystems can be resized whilst they are unmounted, there are loads of Free tools that can manage it (including a couple of utilities on UBCD)
That said it is always a good idea to back up first, I can't remember ever having a resize operation fail on me but say for example a power cut halfway through would make a right mess.
