How to back up in XP?




Posted by Proto Man

I know this is going to sound silly, but I can't figure out how to back up my files in Windows XP. In 98SE you just go under system tools and run backup.

Accessories>System Tools>Backup? Not sure if that are what you're looking for.

It is what I am looking for, and it's not there. I found out why though, it turns out that for Windows XP Home Edition (or whatever), Microsoft did NOT put it in. You have to instal it on your machine from the CD that came with your computer. :(

So does the :( mean you don't have the disc or did you get it working?

Go to My Computer. On the left there should be a bar that says "View system information." System Properties should appear. Click the System Restore tab. Carry on.
