yes Windows XP includes a backup utility called NT Backup.
If you have XP Pro you can find it under the accessories - system tools menu. If you have XP Home then you need your installation disk and in the: VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP directory .
Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file to start the wizard that installs Backup.
Run the program and follow the wizard. You can then set a scheduled backup when needed.
