Interesting that you should mention this. While at a client's site 
yesterday, I attempted to set up a backup for their system but could 
not find the Backup program in their System Tools folder. But your 
mentioning XP Pro reminded me of the reason. Their system was using 
XP Home.

If you're using Windows XP Home Edition, it's a bit more complicated. 
You must install the Backup program separately. It is not included in 
the default installation of Windows XP Home Edition, and the Backup 
icon is not on the Start menu in Windows XP Home Edition, nor in Add 
Remove Programs. It is included on the CD-ROM in the Valueadd folder. 
To install Backup for Windows XP Home Edition, you must install it 
manually. Isn't Microsoft wise in their making this so unnecessarily 
complicated?
