[1stPickSoftware] Windows ME ~ XP backup

["Mike" <mikebike@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you have WinXP Home, you will not have the Backup option. 
That is because it is not installed by default. 
However, if you have the WinXP Installation CD, you can easily find it.


WinME: Installing MS Backup 
By default, WindowsME does not give you the option to install MS Backup. 
However, this program is on the original WinME installation CD in the=
 \Add-ons\MSBackup directory. 

WinXP: Installing the MS Backup Utility 
If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you may be surprised to find that there=
 is not a backup utility included by default. Go ahead and check under=
 System Tools in the Start Menu - it's not there! Although XP Pro Edition=
 and XP Home both ship with NTBackup, only XP Pro installs NTBackup by=
 default. 
Fortunately, Microsoft was kind enough to bury it on the XP installation CD=
 so that you can install and use it anyway. 
It is in your WinXP installation CD if you have the RETAIL version. 
Its location on your CD is in 
CD-ROM Drive:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP


Download NTBackup utility (the one that came with WinXP CD) from here:
