NTbackup
I have Windows XP Home Service Pack 2.
I was installing the backup tool from "CD-ROM Drive:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP" when I realized the "readme" file said that the BACKUP tool will appear to work but won't really work if NTbackup is installed on XP Home edition when trying to RESTORE the system from the backup created with the tool. Is this true? Why is the backup utility even on teh CD to be installed then? If it doesn't work... Thank you for any clarification on this matter. Here is a copy of the readme file that is in teh same folderas the install for the backup utility (NTbackup): "NTBackup Backup/Restore and ASR release notes Backup/Restore ASR 1. ASR is not supported on home edition. IF you install NtBackup from the CD to the Home Edition, ASR functionality will appear to work fine during the backup session. Since the setup does not support ASR in the home edition, there is no way to initiate the ASR restore in case of a disaster. If you need to restore from this session, install Windows XP manually and then restore from the ASR media. 2. Backup to CDRW If you decide to backup to a CDRW, you cannot target that device directly. You must create a backup set of 650MB or less and backup to a file. After the file is complete, copy the file to the CDRW. Please refer to the readme for XP home edition for additional notes." |

NTbackup
While NtBackup is not useful on XP Home Edition for ASR bare metal restore it
is still very useful for backing up to a network, or internal or external hard drive. NtBackup allows an existing XP home system to be restored from a network or hard drive but does require re-installing Windows first and then running the NtBackup program to perform the restore over top of the new installation. NtBackup can be use for bare metal restore on XP Home Edition when booting from RescueBoot or BartsPE to do the backup and restore. By using RescueBoot or BartsPE you are not required to re-install Windows before doing the restore. -- John Hensley www.resqware.com "enzofsilva" wrote: I have Windows XP Home Service Pack 2.
