For XP Home, the Backup utility is not installed by default.

HOW TO: Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition

If your computer came with a "recovery" CD or CD set, you may or may not
have this option available to you. If not, contact the PC manufacturer and
ask them to provide you with an installable version, or the backup files.
