Backup software - not imaging software.

Didn't read far enough.
Just one example.

Automatically backup files, directories, even entire drives! Karen's Replicator copies selected files from one drive/folder to another. Source and Destination folders can reside anywhere on your network.

hfctrl--While not the greatest WinXP has a backup utility (NT Backup) on its install disc, though it is not installed by default in Windows XP Home.
