Where can you get a copy of windows backup software?

Windows has a built-in backup feature. When you first purchase your machine you should immediately make a backup using the backup utility program and keep this in a safe place. If you have not done this, there is a feature called create and restore which will backup your computer to the last restore point. This is not a complete backup but it is helpful.


What is the program file name of the windows backup utility?

I THINK.... That there is no .exe for it but just a lot of separate files making the utility up in this file locationVista: C:\Windows\winsxs\BackupCorrect me if I am wrong...Actually the correct answer to what is the program file name of the windows backup utility depends on what Windows OS, you are using. If it's Vista, then it's the Backup and Restore Center which handles all files that can be backed up. For Windows 2000/XP, then its a program file called Ntbackup.exe. From there you just click Start, then All Programs, then go to Accessories, then go to System Tools, and then click Backup. Hope this is the information you're looking for.JRay25

When updating a backup folder on an external hard drive in XP will files deleted in the source folder on my hard drive also be deleted in the destination folder on the external drive?

If you rewrite your backup files. Then, yes your backup files will be rewrited (they might be the same or they can be different). The best way is to backup your files in another folder. If you are using standard window backup procedure your source files are safe because the windows backup utility just copies your files, but doesn't remove them. If you are using utility which wasn't a standard part of windows then you have to check settings very carefully. Some backup utilities do remove files instead of coping them.
