Files backed up with the Win98 version of MS Backup cannot be restored by the XP version of MS Backup. If you still have the files on the 98 system copy them to floppy diskettes or CD and simply use read and write to transfer them.
Windows XP also supports external ZIP drives, including the old parallel port interface ZIP100. You could just backup directly from Quickbooks to your Zip and Restore from Zip through Quickbooks. Documents, pictures, spreadsheets, etc. you may want to just copy to ZIP in Windows 98 and copy from ZIP in Windows XP as Denny suggested. Alternatively, you can download Stompsoft's PC-Backup trial edition that can backup from Windows 98 and restore to Windows XP: It's available here: http://www.stompsoft.com/pc-backup/pc-backup.html .
