Why each option
NTBACKUP is the native Windows XP command-line utility used to initiate backup and restore operations from a command prompt.
RECOVER is a command-line tool that attempts to recover readable data from a bad sector on a disk, not a backup or archive utility.
REPLACE is a command used to replace files in one directory with files from another, not a backup or restore tool.
NTBACKUP.EXE is the built-in backup tool in Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 that can be executed from the command line with various switches to start backup jobs, restore data from .bkf archive files, and schedule backup tasks. It was removed in Windows Vista and later replaced by Windows Backup and Restore. It directly addresses the question's requirement for archive and restore via command line.
COPY is a basic file copy command and does not provide archiving, compression, scheduling, or restore functionality.
