Backup

[Guest]

How do you backup everything on the hard drive please? I
can find anything in accessories or system tools only
restore. I have xp home edition. At the moment I have
to back up files individually - when I remember. It
would be nice to have a backup of everything on the hard
drive in case my computer dies or is stolen.

Many thanks
Denise

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 back up to
a folder on your hard drive then burn it to a CD

here is how to use it;
