Yes but got lots of files and folders with *backup* in the name.

Nope 'cos I couldn't find the utility so hadn't got as far as help.

Nope I don't speak MS lingo and I'd still have been ploughing through it all

Ta, that's in my system 32 folder. However C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup is an empty folder

Got it now thanks since I know the name. The read me doc isn't much help
though. What's ASR ?

1. ASR is not supported on home edition.

IF you install NtBackup from the CD to the Home Edition, ASR functionality
will appear to work fine during
the backup session. Since the setup does not support ASR in the home
edition, there is no way to initiate
the ASR restore in case of a disaster. If you need to restore from this
session, install Windows XP manually
and then restore from the ASR media.
