Guest Xandros Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Re: How to perform backup for XP? If you have XP Home version then you will have to manually install the backup program as it is not installed by default on XP Home. You can install NTBackup for XP Home by performing the following steps: 1.. Insert the XP Home CD-ROM. 2.. Navigate to the VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP folder. 3.. Double-click the ntbackup.msi file to install NTBackup. However this version of Backup is very limited. It cannot backup to CD or DVD devices and cannot create a full system recovery or ASR. You would do a lot better to buy decent backup software.

When your system is hosed your backup file may not be readable by other Windows O/S. Your best bet is to open the two windows (one source and one target), highlight the source directories and drag them to the target window directory. If you want to do this regularly, create a DOS batch file, use the DOS xcopy command, and then use the Scheduler to launch the backup at night. It is better that your D: is another separate physical drive, even better if it is removable drive. Make sure your target has enough space and its a good idea to do a complete anti-virus scan before the backup. Backups should be easy and automated.
Guest Phisherman Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Re: How to perform backup for XP? NTBackup can be loaded from your Windows CD. But like I said, it is lame.
