Backup in Windows XP

[Al Lupa]

I am trying to find the backup wizard. The microsoft website says that
there should be a shortcut under all programs/accessories/system tools. I
cannot find this. Any suggestions? Thanks

While at that Microsoft website you could have gone into support and
searched the knowledge base for this article:

Hi Al,

Windows XP Professional Edition and XP Home both ship with NTBackup. But
only XP Pro installs NTBackup by default. You can install NTBackup for XP
Home by performing the following steps:

Insert the XP Home CD-ROM.
Navigate to the VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP folder.
Double-click the ntbackup.msi file to install NTBackup.

For OEM Computers:

If the computer you purchased is an OEM (from Dell,Compaq etc), they might
not ship the Operating System CD. (only restore cds).
In that case, you can download ntbackup.msi from here:

This article describes how to install Backup, which is included on the
CD-ROM in the Valueadd folder. To use Backup, you have to install it
manually.
