I find info for the Backup Utility for XP Home and Pro, but nothing for the
Media Center Edition. Am I limited to drag and drop, or buying software
such
as Aconis True Viewer 10?



MCE is just XP Pro, and I don't think XP Home includes
backup. But, I don't have XP Home.

In every experience I've had with external drive purchases
there is some kind of backup SW included.

Even if you don't acquire specific software, you can still
run the backup from a .bat script that you build. You
just won't have all the W&B(incremental, etc.).

XP Home does have ntbackup. It is not installed by default. It works
well (it's fast) for backing up data, source files, pictures, songs,
etc but don't expect it to restore your entire O/S--you need ghost or
True Image for that.
