There doesn't appear to be a backup facility in XP in system tools - only restore for which is uses its own restore points

However, As instructed by Symantec when loading the blastfix.exe (to fix the worm) I turned off the restore facility and turned it back on again. I now have no restore points but have many problems on the PC. My only option is to go back to the original load disk which I intend to do. I have backed up my work and email files onto CD but also want to back up documents and settings etc.. but it will not allow me to do so. When I drag and drop documents and setting onto D:\ it says that the source and destination are the same, yet it allows me to copy some of the files in it's subfolders - can anybody help with how to get round this or tell me about a full back up I can do

Please remember to remove (removethis)from my email address

Try NTBackup in XP, limited, but it works.
