NTBACKUP.EXE

[Guest]

While the XP Home Edition doesn't seem to have the NTBACKUP.EXE program, it
syas its on the Home Edition CD under a VALUEADD folder. My supplier's
recovery Home XP cd doesn't have this. Now what?

The file is relatively small. You could ask a friend if they have a retail
copy of XP that you could borrow or ask him/her if he/she would copy the
file to a floppy disk for you. Alternatively visit my website
http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Click on the Contact Me tab and email me
direct. We can sort something out from there.

I did email you at your website, John, thanks. I also thought of LimeWire and
downloaded a couple of versions of NTBACKUP.EXE from there. While running it,
it seems to only want to back up selected data to a floppy ('A') drive, even
though I select my 'G' burner drive as the destination. And it won't accept
it! Does NTBACKUP.EXE only use floppies as a destination device?

Floppy and tape only. Oh, it writes to CD/DVD too, if these are
UDF-formatted first. And I don't think it can span CD/DVDs...
