How do I Find the backing up data option in Windows XP home Edition?

My father introduced me to your show while visiting Phoenix, I wish that your show was here in Denver.

Can you please tell me where the "backing up data" option is on XP Home. It's under "Performance and Maintenance" in XP Pro but I'm at a loss as to where it is in the home edition.

Thank you,

Tom
