It is the same. I found mine. I beautifully backed up my Hard Drive.
All
you need to do is put this file name into your search
Ntbackup.msi
Used the Advanced Options when your doing your Search. Check all of the
boxes and you'll find it. When you find that file, just hit enter and
it'll
install. Your going to be impressed by this feature.
