Backup in XP

[Don]

I recently did a clean install of XP home on my dell pC. The help and
support files indicate there is a built in backup capability which I should
be able to access at accessories/system tools/backup. It doesn't show up
there on my start menu. I also checked add/remove windows components in the
control panel. Nothing obvious there. Help please.
Thanks,
Don

wanz02,
I took a look at what is on the xp cd and found it is pretty limited. You
have to backup to a temp file on hard drive and then copy that to cd. I am
going to stick with my third party program which does an auto backup to rw
cd on a prescribed schedule. It is "Stomp - Backup my PC" if you are
interested.
