Sharon,
As I said in my original message, you may be able to install the Windows
Backup Utility on Windows XP Home by installing it manually from your
Windows XP Home CD's. Here's a page with instructions on how to do it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302894 BTW, this page is titled "How to
install the Backup utility from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition".
I also mentioned some good instructions and tutorials on the web, and here's
a relatively good example. The title of the page is "How to use the Backup
utility to back up files and folders in Windows XP Home Edition" and the URL
is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308422. Note that these instructions,
except the part on how to install the utility on XP Home, will apply to the
Backup Utility on XP Pro as well.

This is only available on XP pro, and perhaps higher-end versions of vista,
but I've never bothered with any flavor of vista, so can't speak to that.

Yes, depending on what version of Windows you're running. check out Start ->
Accessories -> System Tools -> Backup. I find it a bit cumbersome to use,
but it's actually a pretty complete backup utility, and it's fully
accessible. You can find tutorials on the web. If you don't have it already
loaded in your version of Windows, you may be able to install it from the
web or from your Windows CD. There are some other options, but I haven't
found many free accessible utilities.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Wanna Learn about Backup
Hi all!
I've been thinking lately about how my hard drive can be destroyed or wear
out. Over the years I've heard discussions or subjects of doing backup. I
think it's time I learn! So, what do I need to know about doing this? Is
there a backup feature that comes with Windows?
Thanks much!
Sharon
