Windows XP Home edition Ntbackup

[Gadiel]

XP Help advises that Ntbackup is not installed by default
with XP Home edition but may be installed from the XP CD-
ROM.

This may well be the case, but my machine was supplied
with XP pre-installed and no CD-ROM was provided by the
retailer.

Is there any provision for the many XP Home users such as
myself to have access to Ntbackup?

Many thanks

If the computer you purchased is an OEM (from Dell,Compaq etc), they might
not ship the Operating System CD. (only restore cds).
In that case, you can download ntbackup.msi from here:

I don't think its included in some oem versions or your retailer may have
just installed the default options.

Some web sites do carry copies, for example

You should make sure that your current windows xp home edition license allow
you to use it.
