XP backup

[Gerald Ross]

I had previously backed up my XP Home notebook to another computer on my
network, but now cannot find the backup program. Where is it located?

If you installed Backup (or someone else), it should be under

Start Menu | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Backup

You can find the non-shortcut (Target) file under
C:\Windows\System32\ntbackup.exe

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

I downloaded & installed it. Thanks! That must have been my previous
notebook that had it on it.
