NTBACKUP file missing

My PC came with Win XP but there is no backup utility installed. I called the company that manufactured the PC and they do not send out the CD of XP. Where can I get this file?

If you have WinXP Home, NTBackup isn't installed by default. What mfr did
you get the computer from - is there a restore partition or anything? Much
depends on what the vendor included.

Shawn;
Search for the files mentioned on this link:

The files may not be available.
Some OEMs have determined their customers do not need these optional
files.
If that is the case and you want a back-up application, you need a 3rd
party application.
