Backup Tool

[D L Gardiner]

I use Win XP Home Edition and want to backup my folders &
files. I have looked in system tools & there is no sign
of backup. Can someone tell me if this version of Windows
has backup and if so how do I find it?

You have to install it:

If you have a rescue disk the valueadded folder may be on
it or your XP Disk, Mine was on disk #2

Insert the XP or Rescue CD, and run NTBACKUP.MSI program
from the folder D:\valueadd\msft\ntbackup

You can get a copy here;

In XP Home the ASR Floppy Disk does not work . It will NOT
backup to a CD. You can bacu up to
a folde on your hard drive then burn it to a CD

here is how to use it;

Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional, but not on
XP Home. If you have the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the
CD, in \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by
doubleclicking the file ntbackup.msi.
