Default Locating Backup Program on Operating System Disk

Had to reinstall all programs. Now trying to open my XP backup files but
program was not installed with XP. How do I locate it in cabinet files in OS
Disk?

Thanks.

XP Home?

Backup is installed automatically on XP Professional, but not on XP Home. If
you have the complete XP Home CD, find backup on the CD, in
\ValueAdd\MSFT\NTBACKUP and install it yourself by doubleclicking the file
ntbackup.msi.

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