Back up

[Ben Humphreys]

I am using Windows XP. There is no Back up Wizard on this machine and what I want to know is how to back up my system on a CD rom disk. Thanks.

Have you checked . . .

Start
All Programs
Accessories
System Tools

. . . for "Backup"

If it's not there, type . . .

%SystemRoot%\system32\ntbackup.exe

. . . into 'Run'.

ntbackup is on the XP cd.

Quote from a site--->

"You don't have to buy a backup program, or even look for a freeware program; the Windows backup program is on your XP installation disk, although it isn't installed by default. To install the backup program, put the installation disc into your CD-ROM drive and open it in Windows Explorer. Navigate to \VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP. In the NTBACKUP folder, double-click ntbackup.msi to install the program. Once you install the backup program, it will appear in Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools. "

It must depend on what XP you use, I have XP w/ SP1, and it's installed by default.
