Nope, Is there a Freeware ? Or Is there any utility in XP professional I can use? Thanks
Click open My Computer, then right click on C or D drive that you wanted backup, select properties, and click on Tool tab. You should see the BACKUP option there.

is it XP? the backup function is available under start>all programs>ACCESSORIES> system tools>backup
you can also use xxcopy : www.xxcopy.com/ 
Hi Nobus:
     I think XXcopy is what my boss uses. But its kind of complicated to backup the drive. I wonder how good the windows backup works..
