Hi,

I was wanting to schedule a windows backup for someone who has XP Home and
cannot find it. I assume Windows Backup must be an XP PRo thing. Is that
correct and is there some kind of backup I can schedule with XP Home?

Thanks,
 
NTBackup is not installed with XP Home, but it's on the XP CD. Unless you
have an OEM CD. In that case read on.
