NTBackup in Windows XP does not support making a backup to
CD-RW;  however, we routinely backup to a folder on the HDD
and then using IBM DLA copy that backup file to CD-RW.  We
never have had to restore from these CD's, but matching file
sizes and confirming file names sure looks like the process
has worked as hoped.

Subject: [PCBUILD] updates for windows xp/ SP2

I keep receiving notices to update my computer with SP2. I
need to do this for other needs. 
my problems are:
i dont know how to back up my computer or where to backup
to.    
I don't know what to use to back up. Default goes to floppy
a drive. Wont let me use drive d for a rewritable disk. 
i have quickbooks also on computer. Which is a Toshiba
Satelite 1415,and windows xp home edition. 
I also have a non hi speed usb of 1.1? 
Is this an external way to make my usb a hi speed 2.0? my
daughters mp3 requires it to download from it music library.


I also dont have my installation cd for xp, do i fear
downloading w/out back up.

thank you for any help or suggestions
