WinXP backup utility

[Guest]

My PC came w/ xp already installed, and I did not receive a copy of the XP
Disk w/ it. I need to get a copy of the Backup utility, but apparently it is
only available on the Windows XP disk. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

Best idea is to ask someone like a neighbour who may have a copy you could
borrow. It will be the easiest way.

Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If
you have the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the CD, in
\ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by doubleclicking the file
ntbackup.msi.

If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at
