I was trying to us NTBackup on one of my customer computers but it is not
found or loaded. I try browsing the OS CD but can't find the .exe. How can
I find and download NTback? I have also try using, the run command,
"NTbackup" and the system tools but NT backup is nowhere to be found. The
client is in the same OU as twenty other computers, other don't have this
problem. The cleint was re-image about three months ago, by another IT
professional.


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
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/ntbackup.msi Also see

However, as backup utilities go, this is probably the poorest choice
available. I recommend that you use a third-party utility instead,
such as the excellent Acronis True Image.
