Hello-

As I'm sure many have discovered, Windows XP Home didn't
come with a backup program, as previous versions did.
I've read on the Microsoft site that the backup program
is in the valueadd folder on the XP Home disk, but I
didn't get the disk with my computer. How can I get the
program?

Thanks,
Kim

Kim;
If the computer manufacturer did not furnish NTBACKUP, you are not
licensed to use it.
If you want a back-up application, you need a 3rd party application.

I didn't get a CD either. However it was on my harddrive. Click on 'help and
support' to see if you can locate it. By default backup is not installed in
Win XP home edition.
