Re: No Backup tab in Accessories/System Tools

NTBackup is not installed with XP Home, but it's on the XP CD. Unless you
have an OEM CD. In that case read on.

HOW TO: Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition

You can download NTBackup here:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/ntbackup.msi

ntbackup.exe does not allow backing up directly to CD.

From X:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP\README.TXT

[[NTBackup Backup/Restore and ASR release notes
2. Backup to CDRW

If you decide to backup to a CDRW, you cannot target that device directly.
You must create a backup set of 650MB or less and backup to a file. After
the file is complete, copy the file to the CDRW.]]

In news:1A557EEF-7F83-4E13-8657-E68FA7333578@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Bebb <Bebb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I want to purchase WebTrend's Pinicillin's Antivirus and need to backup my
system first. In Accessories/System Tools there is no Backup in my PC.
Used Help and Support and in the instr.'s video, the Wizard's first page
explanation is different from my Files and Setting Transfer Wizard (FSTW).
Is TSTW be the same as
the supposed Backup?
Also, my FSTW does not have a CD Rom setting to save the Backup into, it
only has the A: and E: drives.
TY for your time.
