Backup for XP security updates
Since support is going away next year, how could I backup my security fixes so that I can restore them in case my O.S. has to be rebuilt.
I have Sp3 saved to a CD. Thanks. Andy

Andy http://download.wsusoffline.net/ http://forums.wsusoffline.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=411 That's a tool, which draws the downloads from Microsoft servers, using Microsoft manifest information. You keep all those downloads in a folder, and can re-apply them to a fresh reinstall later. While you can test WSUSoffline now if you like, you'd probably want to do your final run in March 2014.

... Since support is going away next year, how could I backup my security fixes so that I can restore them in case my O.S. has to be rebuilt. On installation, each WinXP security update generates a new folder in c:/windows with the filename $NTUninstallKB and a string of numbers. Each also includes an EXE file and INF file and a TXT file that informs you what it does. You can copy all these $NTUninstallKB files on a CD like your SP3. (I do not bother because I clone c:/Windows and c:/Documents and Settings from time to time.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)
