Backup on XP using NTBackup

NTBackup was created as a trimmed down version of Backup Exec. It even saves in a format that the latest versions of Backup Exec can read (HINT! If you are an administrator, you can use this -> how a out system state backups all centrally located. No need for a backup Exec license on every server) For some reason, MS didn't rename the app, it's still NT Backup even though it's running on 2000, 2003, XP, workstations, server, home versions, etc. It's not included with XP home, but copying it from an XP pro system works just fine! Here's a sample command line, nice for automation using a batch file: ntbackup backup "@c:\backup.bks" /j "regular backup" /m normal /f "f:\Backup.bkf" For more help, try "ntbackup /?"
