NTBackup in MS Windows PE

[kaares]

I really would like to integrate the ntbackup.exe utility into my Windows PE boot CD to use it as a tool aiding in disaster recovery.

I have made several attempts, but it is difficult to know about dependencies. One thing is direct DLL dependencies, which is no problem to find, but dependencies of services, etc. is much harder.

I have found one plugin for XPE, which installed ntbackup as well as some MMC consoles and services (xpe-mmc.inf). I have converted most of the stuff from xpe-mmc.inf into my WinPE installation, but to no good effect.

I guess the ntbackup is dependant of more than what is described in xpe-mmc.inf, probably stuff which is defined in the xpe.inf file.

So have any done this for MS Windows PE, or have any ideas?

I too would like to add NTBackup but I remember the days of trying to get MMC to work in windows PE, I eventually gave up. Maybe over the Holiday I will look into this. BTW welcome.
