no backup utility in window xp

[Justrahul]

I have Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed on my computer on an older hp laptop and I am trying to restore some items to a new HP laptop which also has Windows XP SP2. Now while restoring I get this problem:

'Backup utility cannot connect to the removable storage service.' 'Please exit and start removable storage service using the system services function of the management console'.

So can anyone tell me what backup utility in window xp should I use or How to backup utility in window xp ?

By default, the NTBACKUP program is not installed on the Windows XP.

You can find it on the xp CD in the \VALUEADD\MSFT\NTBACKUP directory
Since not all vendors include the actual source code for XP,
you can download a copy
