It is amazing how the things you come to rely on are
always well hidden without any instruction on how to access them. This is
particularly true of the Windows Backup Utility in Windows XP Home. I have
always found it rather nonsensical to have the Backup Utility automatically
installed in Windows XP Professional, yet leave the utility on the CD in XP
Home. However, help is at hand!
If you don't have a Windows XP CD you can download a copy of
NTBackup.msi from the following link:

Alternatively try your PC manufacturer's website. Many PC
Manufacturer's have download copies of the NTBackup file on their support
websites.
1/ Insert your XP CD into your CD-ROM
2/ Hold the Shift key down during the initial
CD spin up to prevent the the CD's Auto Run application from running. All
you want to do is Browse the CD, not run setup.
3/ Open Windows Explorer and click on plus
sign next to your CD-ROM drive letter
4/ The directory folders on your CD should now become
visible
5/ First Look for a folder called VALUEADD
6/ Click on the VALUEADD folder to open it
7/ Within this folder you should see another folder
called MSFT
8/ Click on the MSFT folder to open it
9/ When the folder opens you should see a file called
NTBACKUP
10/ Click the NTBACKUP file to setup the backup
utility.
11/ After the backup utility has been installed you can
launch it by clicking on Start button>AllPrograms>Accessories>SystemTools>Backup
