Restoring twrp backup - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

Hello.
I have a Moto G4 and it has SD card formatted as internal and so some of the apps and data is physically on the SD card. The total system+apps+data storage is approximately 15GB and the internal memory of the phone is less than 15GB, hence I have the SD card formatted as internal.
I am currently running LineageOS 14.1 on the device. My questions is that if I backup the ROM and all its apps and data in TWRP recovery and later restore it on the same device but with SD card not formatted as internal, would this work? where would the apps+data which exceed phone's internal memory be saved?
Thanks
Regards

[Q] Question about internal Memory!!

Hey guys i have a question, on my ideos x5 it says that i must have 2GB internal memory.. But in SD properties where i can check my free space it says that my internal SD Card is Total 2GB and i have free 2 GB's and beneath that i says that my internal available memory is 395MB?
What is this?
Thank you very much!
This got me confused too.. I think the 2GB one is an internal one where it installs the apps or something, the external one is the one you put in and the other one is where it holds it's ram maybe?
This got me confused too.
If you go to Settings > SD card and phone storage you will see:
SD Card, mounted as /sdcard, which is your external SD card.
Internal SD Card, mounted as /HWUserData, which is the 2GB build-in SD card, you cannot install apps there if you have an external SD card.
Internal phone storage, mounted as /data, part of the NAND storage (so-called ROM), which is the data partition for the data of apps installed on phone.

Emergency help critical lollipop sd card bug

So i started using a 64GB sd card, transfered about 11GB of app data pver, and began filling more. All of a sudden android OS usage went skyrocketing, and the storage menu reports the internal memory as being 120% full (i.e. impossible). Backed up sd card and reformatted, no luck. Issue does not persist when sd card is unmounted.

[Q] Resize data partition? 2GB is not enough!

My Oppo Find 5 storage is as follows:
1.97 GB Internal storage (which I guess it's the data partition)
25.23 GB SD card (not external sd card)
I only have 192MB left on Internal storage, and I can't install almost new apps. I tried moving apps to SD card, but many can't be moved.
I've installed CyanogenMod 12, so I have ClockworkMod recovery, and ADB and fastboot on my computer.
Can I make the "internal storage" partition bigger using some or all of the SD card partition? How?
