Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/BackUp
Never installed it manually. I checked all 101 updates that have been
installed on my PC at the Windows Update site and saw no updates that
mentioned BackUp program. This computer came with XP Home and SP1 and SP2
were auto downloaded and installed. I honestly don't remember if BackUp was
on here initially as I never looked for it. I use restore points and burn
certain folders manually to CD.

Hi
Would you mind specifying the path on your puter to the backup?
Was it installed when you got the system or did you have to install it?
