You've actually been misinformed.

No version of Vista with Home in the name has that function, just like
ntbackup with ASR doesn't work on any version of XP with Home in the name.

If you want imaging, imaging and cloning programs like TrueImage and Ghost
are a better bet. I've used TrueImage for some time now and it's been very
reliable, and it's around $50.
