Where has the Backup program gone in XP Home?
Is there a file backup / restore facility in XP Home, or has it been removed? Have tried checking the installed windows components, but it's not an option.
Any ideas please. Ken Long |

Where has the Backup program gone in XP Home?
Backup Utility for Windows XP Home Edition
To install Backup Utility, you need your Windows XP Home Edition CD. Use Windows Explorer to open the Valueadd\Msft\Ntbackup folder, and then double-click Ntbackup.msi. If your computer came with only a "system recovery" CD instead of a full Windows CD, finding Ntbackup.msi is not as easy. Look on the CD that was given to you and on any additional hard disk partitions set up on your computer. Some manufacturers provide the Windows files more or less intact, whereas others embed them in compressed disk image files. (Compaq systems with Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed, for example, have Windows files stored within Drive Image files on drive D.) If you happen to have the disk imaging program that was used to create the disk image files, you can extract the Windows files you need. Backup/Restore Note: 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. 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. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;302894 HOW TO: Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;302700 An Error Message Is Displayed When You Attempt to Use the Automated System Recovery Wizard "Ken Long" Ken wrote in message ...
