NTBACKUP

Backs-up drives / folders to tape. This utility is available in Windows 2000 and XP.

Syntax Windows 2000:

NTBACKUP backup [ systemstate ] " bks file name " / J { " job name" } [ options ] [ /um ]

NT, Win2K and XP Pro all use NTBackup, it's usually installed at setup and can be invoked through the menus, or by typing NTBACKUP on the Run line.

Restoring backups created by MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Backup programs

MS-DOS 6.22 backup uses a different backup compression format from MS-DOS 6 and 6.2. Backup. The MS-DOS 6.22 Backup program uses the DriveSpace compression format whereas earlier versions of Backup used the DoubleSpace compression format instead.

Due to the above reason, MS-DOS 6.22 Backup for Windows cannot restore compressed backups created by MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Backup.
