I am attempting to backup files and folders using my installation CD-ROM.
I have followed Microsoft's suggestion in their Knowledge Base but still have not been successful. I get an error saying a network error occurred when attempting to read the file: D:\VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP\ntbackup
[1].msi. Your system has not been modified.

If I ignore this and proceed to start backup I get this: Error returned while snapping volume--catastropic failure.

Would appreciate any help with this problem. Thanks in advance.:helpme:

If you are attempting to use NTBACKUP.MSI;

NTBackup Backup/Restore and ASR release notes

Backup/Restore

ASR

1. ASR is not supported on home edition.

IF you install NtBackup from the CD to the Home Edition, ASR functionality will appear to work fine during
the backup session. Since the setup does not support ASR in the home edition, there is no way to initiate
the ASR restore in case of a disaster. If you need to restore from this session, install Windows XP manually
and then restore from the ASR media.

2. Backup to CDRW

If you decide to backup to a CDRW, you cannot target that device directly. You must create a backup set of
650MB or less and backup to a file. After the file is complete, copy the file to the CDRW.

Please refer to the readme for XP home edition for additional notes.
