I have windows xp home edition on my besktop and windows pro on my laptop.
I know that in the Pro there is a backup files facility.Is there one in the
home edition or do i need to buy a backup program?

Hi

If you are running XP Home the backup utility isn't installed by default.
Have a look in the following folder on the XP CD:

valueadd\msft\ntbackup

Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If
you have the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the CD, in
\ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by doubleclicking the file
ntbackup.msi.



If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at

However, be aware that it's a very primitive backup program, and almost any
third-party solution is a better choice. Personally, I like Acronis True
Image.
