I recently upgraded from Win98 to WinXp for Home Users.
The first thing I wanted to do was back-up my data files,
mainly Turbo Tax tax files. Following the back-up
instructions: Click START, point to ALL PROGRAMS, point
to ACCESSORIES, point to SYSTEM TOOLS, and then click
BACKUP, was all OK until I got to BACKUP. There is no
BACKUP utility on my system. What happened to it? Can I
download a BACKUP utility from somewhere? There is no
BACKUP utility unchecked on my system. It appears that
there wasn't a BACKUP utility on the installation CD.
Please help.
