Windows XP Backup

[kemperhills]

I know that XP is no longer supported, but I have software and utilities that won't run in W7 that I still use.

So I have dual booted W7 and XP Pro on two separate HD's. To get the dual boot to work I had to install XP on C drive and W7 on F drive. To get XP to dual boot with W7 I had to do a clean install of XP from a XP Pro Disk I purchased years ago. I have been downloading all the updates I can get for XP and have put a 10 GB partition on Drive F as a backup incase the XP HD needs to be replaced.

So my question is, every time I get new updates for XP and run backup does it backup the entire C drive or only the new updates. And if it backs up the entire C drive does it erase what has already been backed up. The C drive is only 8 GB and I only use XP for the software that won't run on W7. When I do anything but run the software that will only run on XP I boot to the W7 HD.




Thanks.

To answer that we need to know what you are using to perform the backup.

In Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools there is a utility Backup. That is what I am using. Thanks.
