I was unable to find the Back up Program in Start-All Programs
Accessories-System Tools on two computers with Windows XP Home. I know I got
it with Professional.

Ntbackup which is not installed by default in XP Home. For Home if
there it will be on the XP CD in the \MSFT\ValueADD\Ntbackup folder as
ntbackup.msi. If the copy of XP Home is OEM it might not be on the CD,
not all OEMs include it. In that case download it from here:
