I want to use the same ZIP disks that I used with my
previous computer which was running W98 where I used
MSBackup to create the Zip disks. I want to use the same
disks on my new computer which is running XP. I need the
software to install the MSBackup on the XP OS and want to
be sure it is compatible with XP. Where can I get the
software and how do I install it? I have purchased an
external Zip Drive for the purpose of backup on the new
computer.

Insert the XP or Rescue CD, and run NTBACKUP.MSI
program

from the folder D:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP

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. The native program in
XP will not span CD's though.

Here is how to use it;

Windows Backup Does Not Back Up to CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R
Devices [Q315255]

You can trick it with a packet writing program like Roxio
Direct CD & Drag and Drop (comes with Easy CD Creator )
Or Nero InCD or Sonic DLA You then use a CD ( will not
Span cd's) or DVD's (4.7+ gb) to back up to though.
