Default Backup file is missing from my windows 98 SE CD

I am trying to backup my files to upgrade to windows XP Pro. The backup file
is not in the systems Accessories, tools section.
I tried to install it going through the Start, Setting, Control pannal, Add
/ Remove programs. Windows setup system. I am promted to incert the Systems
CD and when I do I get a message that MSBACKUP.COM can not be located. For
some reason the backup program is not on my Windows 98 Second Edition CD for
PC without Windows. I was directed to microsoft web site to down load it, but
I have spent hours looking for it and have not been able to locate it. Can
some one direct me to the proper place on the site to locate it.

There is no MSBACKUP.COM in a Win98 SE CD (or any Win98 CD AFAIK)
There is:
msbackup.chm
msbackup.cnt
msbackup.exe
msbackup.hlp

Msbackup.exe is the executable image on my Win98 SE, though I have
never dared use it.
