Can anyone tell me if the backup section in Windows XP Pro does the
same backup that you can do using Ghost or Direct Image. I would like
to backup my C drive with all my operating system and programs so that
if I have a major problem I can just restore it. I am backing up to a
removeable hard drive. I have all my personal information on this
removeable drive, but have not tried to back up the above yet?
If I can do this with XP Pro can someone offer me the steps involved
so I can try and follow them. Thanks for any assistance.

Not the same. An imaging util, such as those you mentioned, offers the
greater degree of protection.
Read about "backup" in HELP & SUPPORT.
