Backup copies files from your hard drive to a tape drive, second hard drive, or other removable storage device for the purpose of safeguarding or archiving your data. Microsoft Backup works by creating a backup set, or a collection of selected files to be backed up to a removable storage device. This backup set, along with all the selected options available in Backup are known collectively as a backup "job." To begin creating a backup job, choose the Backup tab, and use the familiar Explorer-like two-pane view to navigate through your folders. Click on the checkbox next to any object to select it for backup, and then click Start Backup when you're done.
TIP
In Windows XP Professional, Backup is installed through Add or Remove Programs. In Windows XP Home, you'll need to open the \valueadd\msft\ntbackup folder on your Windows CD and double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to install the software. |
