If you have an OEM disk, the supplier may have not included it.
Have you looked for NTbackup.* ?

It is an OEM disk. Where can I find NTbackup and what

other options do I have?

Backup is not installed by default in WinXP Home.

If you are unable to find the Ntbackup.msi file on your CD, you can try
downloading it from

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
