Can I use the backup program in XP to backup to CD. If so How?

Pro version includes ntbackup.exe, if it was installed, if, if your XP is
OEM, they included it in their packaging.
Ntbackup.exe at start run let's you know if you need to look on your XP
media to install it.

hmmm . . . I overlooked the "to CD" part of your post.
Ntbackup can back up to file, which then may be recorded, or
moved to storage server where most recent are kept online with
periodic snap of the sets to DVD.

Yes, it will let you select the CDROM Drive and from there do the back
up. It basically just plants a backup file there. I did try this from
the wizard and it worked. Oddly enough it saw my Mulicard reader drives
as backup drives..

Hope that helps.

Nice. They have updated it.
I usually just have it scheduled to disk files which are then copied
off and I had not tried direct to DVD for some time . . .
Thanks,
