I have installed a Virtual Floppy & the ASR Backup worked OK.
It created a Backup file of 3.9GB on the Data partition & 200KB on the
Virtual Floppy.

I installed Virtual Floppy but there is no improvement, may be do not know how to install and how it works.

 

Everything I've ever read states that ASR does not work in XP Home.  Google it.
