Backup

[Debby]

I'm running Windows Home XP and want to back up all my
data files to CD. The instructions say; go to start, all
programs, accessories, system tools, backup. However, I
can get all the way to "backup" but mine doesn't
say "backup". It says "restore".

How do I backup?

be aware that the Windows Backup Utility won't backup directly to CD
anyway - you have to make the backup to your HDD and then burn it onto
the CD.
