Windows XP Backup
Windows XP became one of the most popular computer operating systems of all time. With this popularity comes an install base that boggles the mind and a staggering amount of data stored on the installed machines. Having a good backup for your Windows XP machines should be a top priority.
There are several versions of Windows XP, each which suits a particular application best. These include: Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and Windows XP x64 Edition. While most users will be concerned with a simple Windows XP Backup, the other versions of XP are gaining market share.
It remains to be seen what market penetration some of the lesser known systems will have prior to Microsoft’s release of Windows Vista, the reported replacement to Windows XP. XP is also Microsoft’s first Windows release to employ product activation, an authentication-type procedure helpful in combating software piracy. Compared to previous versions of Windows, most agree that XP is a comparably stable product, but this does not eliminate the need for a proper Windows XP backup.
In the case that your machine crashes, you’ll want to get Windows XP back up and running just as quickly as possible. Using the right backup tools this shouldn’t be a problem. Hopefully, you will have prepared a set of recovery disks that will be instrumental in restoring your system to the ‘baseline’ state, including a backup copy of all software and programs that were shipped with the computer when it was purchased.
Using the best commercial grade online backup software is a great way to ensure a proper Windows XP backup. Products like RBackup online backup software are designed to back up the majority of your critical data and files, and even have the capability to backup system state and active directory settings. A combination of these capabilities is the absolute best option for your Windows XP backup plan.
