RE: Backup Anteaus 10/3/2008 8:35:00 AM For hard-disk backup I'd recommend Cobian Backup: http://www.educ.umu.se/~cobian/cobianbackup.htm "oacaac05" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I have no backup tool on my computer and my original discs are packed away > (moving).

Re: Backup "Stewart" <him[ at ]invalid.supanet.co.uk> 10/3/2008 9:07:35 AM buy an external hard drive and use Acronis true image to backup everything onto it.

If you have the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the CD, in \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by doubleclicking the file ntbackup.msi. If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/ntbackup.msi Also see http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=302894 But note that the backup tool built into Windows XP is considerably poorer than third party alternatives, such as my favorite, Acronis True Image.
