I am using XP Home Edition and want to backup the system. I looked in HELP and found a reference to Automated System Recovery (ASR). The following is copied from that topic: "ASR is a two-part system of recovery: ASR backup and ASR restore. The backup portion is accomplished through the ASR Wizard located in Backup." I've searched for Backup but can't find it
How do I access Backup so I can access the ASR wizard
Thanks
Ted

Thanks for the help.

I bought a Toshiba laptop in June 2003 with XP Home loaded on. I didn't receive a CD. Is there anyway I can get a backup utility
I tried following the instructions for "How to copy information to a CD in Windows XP" but that didn't work either. There is no way you can click more than one folder at a time in my "My Computer", ctrl key or not. I have been backing up to floppy but that's a bore. I just remember Win 97/8 had this great backup facility that was quick and easy to use. Can I have that?
