Best windows backup

I think that Windows XP it's a good Operating System, but daily usage can alter your registries, some viruses can corrupt critical Windows files which make your Windows almost impossible to use sometimes. In these situations it's better to have a rescue solution. And happily there are some good ways to do it, but I want to talk about Automated System Recovery Wizard (best windows backup) which comes with Windows XP Professional itself. The advantage is that you don't have to install any specialized software and it is very easy to do. The tools that you need are: a formatted floppy disk, the Windows XP Professional installation disk and enough free space in a drive where you want to save the backup file. The program is named backup and you can find it in Start - Programs - Accessories - Backup. If you want a shortcut you just type Start - Run: backup, which is the name of the program. After you start it and the welcome screen appears you select the Advanced Mode. In the Advanced Mode of the Backup Utility you have three options to choose: Backup Wizard, Restore Wizard and Automated System Recovery Wizard. The first option is if you want to make a manual selection of the directories and partitions, for example if you have special documents located elsewhere. The second is used to restore a previously made backup. The third is used to make a backup of the entire Windows Operating System which is usually located on C: partition. If by any circumstance you system is located elsewhere(another partition) you can choose the first option and select manually from the drives.
