Windows XP Backup Utility.

If you use Windows XP Professional, you can use the built-in Backup utility to help you make copies of files, settings, or everything on your computer. You can even use the utility to back up certain files on a schedule that you specify. Here's how to start using the Backup utility:

Click Start; select All Programs; select Accessories; System Tools; select Backup.

Run the Backup or Restore Wizard & follow the prompts. Note that you can schedule a regular backup to automate the process. For a step by step guide to usings Windows Backup Utility see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bott_03july14.mspx

If you're using Windows XP Home, you'll find that the Backup Utility is not normally installed. You can add it, however, from the original Windows XP Home CD that came with your computer.

Insert the Windows XP Home CD into your drive; on the Welcome to Windows XP screen select Perform Additional Tasks; select Browse this CD; double-click the ValueAdd folder, then Msft, & then Ntbackup; double-click to install the Backup utility.
