take this link http://www.onecomputerguy.com/windowsxp_tips.htm#backup_home
I hope you are aware of it's limitations:
1) will not complete an ASR
2) cannot burn directly to CD-R or CD-R/W (work a round here
http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/saving_files_to_cd.htm )
3) cannot split files into segments
4) cannot open backups made with other versions of Windows Backup programs

other than that it is marginally effective
