Windows Back Up Utility

I was  wondering if it was possible to use the Back Up Utility that comes with XP within  my vb code?  In other words, I would like to use the functionality of the tool in my vb application.  I'm not interested in any 3rd party solutions to do this. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Michael!

Were currently upgrading to XP and Server 2003. Do you know if the commands for XP the same as older versions of windows?

Thanks
I just found an article online that says windows server 20003 has some enhanced features for NTBackUp

I'm assuming this means the command lines may be different too
I dont know for sure but there is difference between backup TOOl and ntbackup command (that like part of OS i guess).
Ussually command's new versions are back compatible.
But you can never know :(
