Backing up XP

Are you wanting to save the total machine set-up? Or just your own work on the computer?
If it's your own work that's the main point, then make sure it all goes in one file, or just a few files. You can put everything in a file called My_Own_Work or something similar. And then copy it to a CD every week or so.
XP's recovery works only for as long as the machine doesn't suffer a wipe-out; an internal error, or maybe a fire in your workplace or home. (It is also a good idea to store the CD somewhere else.)
