Add A Backup Utility to Windows XP Home

For those folks out there preparing for the upcoming release of Windows XP Service Pack 2, you may want to back up your stuff before beginning this installation. Windows XP Professional has an excellent backup utility built into it but, alas, it is missing in Windows XP Home Edition. But, before you throw yourselves off a cliff in despair, I have good news! The backup utility is available for download and installation (thanks to: http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/ntbackup.msi who has done all the work in providing this item) so I would recommend that, if you would like to have this utility in XP Home, you can. Download it from the aforementioned site and the utility will install. Now in XP Home, when you go to All Programs, Accessories, System Tools you will see a new entry called "Backup". Use it in good health!
