Synopsis
Backup (copy) files from your hard drive to a tape drive, second hard drive, or other removable storage device for the purpose of safeguarding or archiving your data. Note: the Backup utility comes with XP Home and XP Pro, but is only installed by default in XP Pro.
To install it on an XP Home system, pop your Windows XP Home
installation disc into your CD drive. Open Windows Explorer and
navigate to \valueadd\msft\ntbackup.
Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file—this
runs the installer. When installation is complete, a new Backup entry
will be added to the Start menu. To run Backup, select Start
→ All Programs
→ Accessories
→ System Tools. Note: You
can’t back up to CD, despite Windows built-in
support for CD-RW drives. To get around this odd quirk, in Backup,
select File from the “Backup
destination” drop-down menu, save the backup to your
hard drive, then burn that backup to CD or DVD.
