hi, i dont know if i understood your question. If you want to backup the windows updates that are downloaded to your computer, look for a folder call ed WUTEMP in the partition where your windows 2000 folder exists. You can see all the downloaded updates in subfolders of this folder. You can backup this folder and use it to update windows by running each of the updates inside those folders. hope that helps
