Windows XP Backup Software

2009/01/02

Windows XP does include backup software, but for some reason it is not installed as default with a Windows XP Home Edition installation. To install the software you must do the following steps:

Insert your Windows XP Home Edition CD in the CD-Rom drive
Find the folder X:Valueaddmsftntbackup (where X is your CD-Rom letter)
Run NTBACKUP.NSI and install the application

If you already have Windows XP Pro, you will already have a slightly more feature full version of this handy tool installed. This tool is perfectly adequate for most home users but advanced users may wish to invest in better backup software and business users may even require a hardware based solution.
