Richard, and all, :)

Here is good multi-page article that explains NTBACKUP.

AR for Home is Manual System Restore point, then NTBACKUP.
http://windows.about.com/library/weekly/aa020127a.htm

NTBACKUP PRO is on CD, install with MSI file
http://windows.about.com/library/weekly/aa020203a.htm

Recovery – Pro vs. Home

Pro – Boot with recovery disk and point to backup source (or last backup), System state is restored with backup.

Home – Boot, restore to Restore Point x, use NTBACKUP to recover file taken after Restore Point x. System State (I don’t know but it’s probably 98.6% ok In that I don’t know if SS is part of the backup for Home but would be in sync with the Restore Point)
Problem: Restore point x only in effect until next system change such as program install, windows updates, unsigned drive install, etc…so a system of Manual Restore Point and Backup would need to occur after any such changes.
