System Backup

[Ciotog2]

How do you do a backup on XP? I'm advised to do this before installing an
update from MS.

Hi!
if you have XP Home:-
No Backup icon is present on the Start menu in Windows XP Home Edition,
nor is Backup listed in Add Remove Programs for Windows XP Home edition.
No mention of the utility is made anywhere during the installation, but
it is included with Windows XP Home Edition. It's just necessary to do a
manual install to prepare it for use.

To Manually Install the Backup Utility
Insert the CD Rom and navigate to CD-ROM Drive:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP

Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the wizard that installs Backup

When the wizard is complete, click Finish.

If you have XP Pro it is there under start>all
programs>accessories>system tools

Create a System Restore Point before downloading and installing updates is
the 'good practice' generally advised.
