Backup XP - 98 and Vice Versa

[MSN]

Hello all

I need to constantly transfer data from my XP to my Win98 laptop and vice
versa. Is it possible to install NTBackup on the Win98 laptop or is it
possible to install Msbackup(98) on my XP machine?

ps I did like the Microsoft words about NT backup and none compatibility
with 98 in the knowledge base - "This behavior is by design." = designed to
make it awkward?

Why not use a USB Key drive?

NTbackup is for backing up a computer, noyt transferring files between 2
computers on a regular basis.
There is nothing wrong with designing a tool to only do what it was
desighned for.

It would be easier to just purchase an exteranl drive (Zip, USB/ide, etc)
and use that,
or use a cable between the 2.
