[Guest]

How can I access a document that I have backed up, if I've lost the original?

It depends on how/what program you used to back up. We'd need more
information to help you.

It depends on the tool you used for backing up your
documents.

I used the WindowsXP backup utility.

In this case you must use the same tool to restore your
files, perhaps to a differen location. You should also pay
attention to the basic rule of backups: A backup is almost
useless unless
a) It gets tested immediately after the initial configuration, and
b) It gets tested regularly, e.g. twice each year.

Thank you. I will try that, and I will remember to test each backup. Again,
thank you for the help.
