Trying to backup registry franimaldoc 09-21-2006

When I go to directions to backup my registry it says to go to
Start->Accesories->System Tools->Backup.
I can get to System Tools, but there is no 'Backup' choice.
What am I missing?
Can I just copy the registry file, and if so, what is the name of the
registry file?
Thanks for your time,
Fran

If you're running XP Pro, backup is installed by default. If you're running
XP Home, it isn't.

HOW TO: Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition

If your computer came with XP Home preinstalled, you may not have this
option.

Additionally, the Registry is backed up in each System Restore Restore
point.
