XP backup

[Peter Fruehman]

The backup utility is not on my hard drive nor on the
recovery CDs. How do I get it?

[Doug Knox MS-MVP]

If it did not come with your computer, contact the manufacturer and
complain, loudly.

You should find ntbackup in a recovery CD folder called something like
valueadded.

Jeff,

You're giving incorrect information again. It is on Retail CD's, and some
OEM's that are the same as retail, but don't do upgrades. Many computers
that come with XP do not have backup and have no way to install it.
