Backing UpData in Windows XP 

I won't spend alot of time preaching to you about the importance of backing up your data. Computers are not 100% reliable and neither are the people using them - so having a system in place to back up your data is crucial. A lot of people just manually copy files and folder s to a secondary hard drive, another PC or USB drive, but Windows XP actually features a back up utility which can schedule a back up and can restore files easily in the event of a loss of your data.

Benefits

The Backup Utility enables you to:

• Helps you to protect and restore important data and information
• Enables you to schedule backup jobs
