Back up

[roy dowling]

I don't seem to have 'back up' in my System Tools, how do
I find it? Is it still on the disc but not loaded?

Gene K have you got a suggestion for me. Have tried to back up on xp pro but
consistently told drive path incorrect after having entered a file title as
prompted. Original post 0n 9/16 xp pro back up failure.

:

Are you trying to back up to an optical disk using NTbackup? Won't work.
You either have to back up to a file on your HD and burn that to a CD,
or get a third-party backup application that can back up to CDs or DVDs.
