WinXP Pro Backup

[Pirotech]

Hello to anandtech!

This is my question:
When I click:
start>all programs>accessories>system tools>
I should now see a XP utility called backup.

Backup utility is missing. How can I get it back?

Are you saying that it was there before?
If you have XP home, you need to install it.

Thanks, Navid.

But I have WinXP Pro. What should I do then?

I don't know!
You may want to add pro to the title of the thread.

Click "Start" and "Run". Type "ntbackup". Click "OK".
Does the program start?

Ntbackup works!

Thanks, Navid, for your help!

No problem!
So, somehow the shortcut to it has been deleted from the Start menu. You can add it back if you want so that you do not have to type it every time. Just add a shortcut to the ntbackup.exe file in the system32 folder and place it in your start menu.
