System Backup Utility

[Rick]

I need to backup the XP system registry and am having
dificulty finding the backup utility. Norton Antivirus
give the following instruction: 'Click
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Backup'
When I do this there is no "Backup" utility option
shown. Can anyone provide guidance on how to accomplish
this task? Thanks

You have to install it from the XP CD

To backup the registry use System Restore. Go to Start->Help and
Support->Pick a task and click on System Restore

Rick,

If you want to backup a specific portion of the registry, you can export to a REG file for backup. For full backup, you may consider System Restore or NTBACKUP System state.
