Backups in XP

[Guest]

Does XP Home have a backup function? I can't find it anywhere

Can I just copy MSBackup from a W98 computer?

If you have a retail copy of XP Home then go here:
Backup in Windows Home Edition

No, XP is based on NT and the W9x backup won't work.

The Windows 98 Backup program is a different version than the one that ships
with XP. In fact files saved with the Windows 98 Backup program, having the
..QIC extension cannot even be opened and restored using XP's version.
However the 30 day trialware version of Backup MyPC from Orlogix (not
Stompinc) will install on XP and will open and restore .QIC backups

How would this be done if you have 6 CDs as we do for W XP-home? How would
we know which CD it's on?

How on earth have you got SIX cd's for windows? Windows comes on ONE cd. You
haven't got a retail copy of XP is my answer to that!
