Little Dragon Backup is readily available in XP-Pro under System tools, I understand. MicroSoft seems to think their System Restore Utility is all us XP-Home users need. It's still available on the XP-Home distrib disk (ntbackup.exe) in the valueaddmsftntbackup folder, and can be installed from there. It's enhanced over the Win2000 version, but still pretty primitive (designed for tape drives, no direct support for CD-R drives). Frankly, a couple of well-written batch files using the command-line switches of Xcopy or xcopy32 makes more sense (as long as you can find the key system files in the incredible warren of redundant folders that the OS insists on cluttering up the hard drive with). For the record; I'm VERY impressed overall with XP's stability & reliability, but with over 1,700 coders at a time working on aspects of XP with a turnover of about 11%/month (as I've heard), it's only natural that a lot of features & options weren't finished properly or implimented with the real end-users needs in mind instead of what a clutch of arrogant misanthropic nerds feel users should want if they were only brite enough to know what they should want. (I say this as a 15-year professional nerd, myself) Again; just my opinions - opposing views expected :-))
