Hi gang,

Recently installed XP Home and, unlike XP Pro, there seems to be no
backup program.

Is the XP backup hidden somewhere on the XP Home CD?

Thanks Gary

Yes. 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.

If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at
