Re: Question about the WinXP Backup Utility...

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

On 8/27/2007 5:11 PM On a whim, Reese pounded out on the keyboard

The WinXP Backup Utility (Program Files / Accessories / System Tools)
bundles the backup in a .bkf file.

Is there any way to regularly schedule one of these backups WITHOUT bundling
everything? Just to mirror-copy a bunch of folders, for instance. And
schedule it weekly, using only WinXP tools?

Thanks.



Hi Reese,

At a command prompt (Start, Run, type cmd and click OK) type, ntbackup /?

A command line reference should come up for the switches needed. After you figure out what you want (test your switches at the command prompt to verify it works as you want), use Scheduled Tasks in Control Panel to set it up.
