In XP Home the backup utility is not easily installed although it is included on the CD. This describes how to install it.

The Backup utility is not included in the default installation of Windows XP Home Edition. The Backup icon is not present on the Start menu in Windows XP Home Edition, nor is Backup listed in Add Remove Programs for Windows XP Home edition.

In default installations of XP Home Edition the backup utility is not included. Likewise, it is not listed in the Add/Remove Programs section of windows.

Luckily, the backup program is included on the XP Home CD. This is how to install it.

    1. Click My Computer
    2. Click on the CD-ROM containing your XP Home CD
    3. Navigate to: \VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP
    4. Double-click the Ntbackup.msi file
    5. Once the wizard is complete, click Finish.

Now you have XP's backup system installed.
