Backup with XP Home

I purchased a new Laptop that had "WindowsXP Home" already
installed. However, the package did not include the
WindowsXP Disk.

I want to install "Backup" but I am finding it impossible
because I don't have the Windows CD.

The Microsoft Support Pages are useless. They explain how
to install Backup but they assume the CD is available.

I have 3 questions:

1) How can I install "Backup" without the CD?

2) Why don't Microsoft supply the Windows CD with new
computers anymore?

3) Why don't Microsoft provide a "Backup Download" option
for users that don't have the CD?

You might sense from the tone of my request for help that
I am not pleased with the support offered by Microsoft. I
have been using DOS based and Windows Based computers
since the first PC became available and I must say that
this current strategy of not supplying the Windows CD is
extremely frustrating, annoying and downright
inconsiderate.

I hope someone can help me. Backup is such a simple yet
important little utility.

somthing like "ntbackup.exe" or similar.

When you purchase a new computer i belive the OS is
provided by computer vendor not microsoft,Vendor would
have lience for OS,so you can ping you Computer vendor.
