93247 2002-10-26 18:48:00 I am using Win98, which comes with Microsoft Backup Utility, saving compressed backups as a ".qic" file. It is a terrific program, with the nice option of updating only new and modified files. I use this nearly everyday and also put these .qic files onto a CD-RW.

Evidently WinXP does not come with this backup utility. Can Win98's Microsoft Backup Utility be transferred over to WinXP? Or does WinXP come with a similar (no extra cost) backup utility?

Thanks, Steve

There is no need to transfer your Backup Program from Win98 as XP also has it. It is just not installed automatically when XP is first loaded.

Look here (support.microsoft.com) for instructions on extracting it off your XP CD.

Cheers

Hope this helps
