Hi. Need help. I want to backup my files and I know where the application
should be, but it is not there. I can see all the other applications i the
same (right) folder: Cleanup, Defragmenter, System Restore, etc...

Maybe I unintentionally moved it or deleted it. IF so, how can I find it, or
get it back?
 
Based on my experience,
you may be fortunate that
it is not readily available for
you.

Based on my favorable experience
and success, you should look into
disk imaging, like "DriveImage xml".

With XP Pro ntbackup is installed by default. For XP Home it is not but it
is on the XP Home install CD in the \MSFT\ValueADD\Ntbackup folder as
ntbackup.msi or download it from here:

There are better backup solutions. I recommend using a drive imaging
program such as Acronis True Image. This makes an exact image of the
partition which can be saved on CD/DVD or to another drive - internal or
external. Imaging to an external USB 2.0 / Firewire drive works well. Then
occasionally burning an image to DVD gives you redundancy. Restores can be
done of the entire partition or individual files / folders. These work well
and make it easy to recover from a drive crash. Other programs that do this
are:

Norton Ghost 10
Terabyte Unlimited's Image for Windows
