Greetings group,
I would like to do a backup on my system, but I can't
find the backup utility. I consulted the how to files on
the MS site (see below), but when I get to system Tools,
there is nothing called Backup, or even anything that
remotely looks like it could be a backup utility.
I've also looked on my installation disks for the
Ntbackup.msi file. Someone said I could find that (on the
XP Home Edition... don't know if Small Business is
significantly different) and follow the wizard to install
backup.
Does anyone have any clues as to where I can find the
backup utility. I can't believe MS would sell you an
operating system as expensive as XP Small Business
without a backup utility :-(
I'm not a novice, but I'm not an expert either. So if you
could be detailed in your advice, I would appreciate it.
Thank,
Norton
