I was told to look on the CD for the valueadd folder and click on
ntbackup.
The only problem is the ntback is not there.

Also cannot find it on my xp pro cd.



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
