How do you back up on Windows XP Home Edition? The back
up utility is not included. You can add the utility, but
only if you have the CD Rom, which I don't have. So how
do you back up files etc.?

The OP doesn't have a retail XP Home cd. Just a restore set.

Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional, but not on
XP Home. If you have the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the
CD, in \ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by
doubleclicking the file ntbackup.msi.



If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at
