The MS Backup program is in the add-ons\msbackup folder on Microsoft Me CDs
but unfortunately it appears that not all OEMs have included this folder on
the CDs they provide with new PCs.  Similarly many of those OEMs who simply
provide restore CDs appear also to have omitted this program.

The executable needed to install MSBackup that Microsoft distribute on the Win
Me CD is msbexp.exe so if you have an OEM CD or a recovery CD you might want
to search the CD and see if it was included.

See also MS KB 264541 - "Microsoft Backup Tool Is Not Installed by Windows
Millennium Edition" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=264541).  Note that
Microsoft have not made MSBackup available for download.

Note though that MSBackup is an antiquated application that is extremely
limited and was designed for use with tape drives when hard disks were small,
for example 3 or 4GB.

A number of alternative backup applications exist and which best suits you
depends on your requirements and range from imaging programs that will back up
an image of your hard disk or disk partition (applications such as Symantec
Ghost, PowerQuest's DriveImage and Terabyte Unlimited's BootItNG) to
applications that allow the back up of selected files and folders on an
incremental basis such as Stomp's BackUp MyPC
(http://www.stompinc.com/bump/bump-retail.phtml?stp) which can also access QIC
files created using MSBackup.
