Backup and Restore

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello,


Windows XP SP2 - Home Edition
I thought I would be a good girl and come up with a decent and efficient
backup system for my computer. I have used the facility/program called
Backup on previous versions of Windows before, but sadly could not find this
program in the Accessories Folder where I expected it to be. On doing some
research I have discovered that it's not even installed routinely, but that
if you want to use it, you have to put the Windows XP CD in the drive and
install it. I am dismayed - such an important little program does not come
with a normal installation!

Sadly, my computer arrived with XP already installed and therefore I do not
have a CD. Is there any way I can install Backup? If not, can anyone else
recommend a similar backup program?

Thanks
Laura TD
