This looks like it will do what you need without the hassle.

I have just run into the same issue. You can workaround it though.

If you copy...

ntbackup.exe
ntmsapi.dll
vsapi.dll

From a Windows XP or 2003 system32 directory to a new folder on your Vista install (I put it in c:\program files\ntbackup) it works just fine after ignoring the initial error message.

Hope this helps.

Restoring NTBackups created in XP to Vista

Has anyone successfully managed to restore file backups created with NT Backup in XP to a Vista machine? I've tried to use the Vista restore wizard but unfortunately it only recognises backups created by Vista!

Searching the web brings up references to a "an add on tool" that will do the job - but I can't find it. Any pointers anyone?

Thanks
