Backup…………………………………?
Q. Would anybody be kind enough to help me?
My question is about “Backup”.
I have Windows XP ,SP2 installed in my PC (1MB RAM).Like any other PC sometimes the OS of my PC also gets corrupted and I have to re-installed it.And prob. starts from there.Actually my anti-virus is my prob. I use dial-up connection.So, everytime I have to re-install the OS,I have to take updates of the anti-virus and have to wait for a long,long time.It`s really ridiculas.And I want to be free from this kind of job.Please help me.
Is there any procedure or any software,by which I can take a “Backup” of my installed anti-virus`s database signature(latest updated file) into a CD\DVD (may be bootable or not),which I will be able to copy in the anti-virus`s programme folder after re-instlltion of anti-virus? If not,then how can I fix this prob.?
Hope,You understand my prob.
Please guide me to make it for me and fix the prob.

You can go into control panel on windows XP and use the back up facility it is very user friendly and will guide you through the whole process explaining it. If you decide to upgrade to vista tho, XP back up files have some compatibility issues with vista.
If you are using Norton you can download the most updates databases fro them and store in ur pc or anywhere and just double click it to update ur system. This helps you to reduce you dial up bill. No need for realtime updating.
If you are using other type of antivirus, they may also have such downloads.
Find the file, copy it to a CD and burn it. Or copy it to a flash drive.
BTW, your operating system should never become corrupted. Stop doing what you’re doing to corrupt it. (This computer has been running for over 2 years – that’s how old it is – without needing to have its operating system reinstalled. I have some computers that haven’t had a reinstallation in a lot longer than that – usually never.)
