Windows XP Backup Utility

[Rob]

How can you choose a different destination for the back-
up? It always defaults to A: and I can't find a way to
back-up to my CD (drive D).

TIA

Windows XP will not backup directly to CD, you will have to backup to the
hard drive and then copy the backup file to cd.

at the bottom It has a "Browse" button.

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;

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