You really do need to find your CD for Windows XP, in the meantime:-

If you don't have an XP CD, you can download ntbackup.msi at:

*** You may have to hold your Shift key down when clicking on above to save the file
to disk. Note that OEM PC makers dont have to provide all the utils on their custom
XP cds.
