Backup Operator in WINXP

I have a four node peer-to-peer network that is not internet connected with
a mix of WINXP Home and Pro and one WIN98 machine. I backup user files on
this network to a CD from a WINXP Home machine. The software I use to do
this reports "access denied" on the Windows and "Progam Files" directories
on the remote XP machines. These messages clog up the backup program's
error log and make it easy to miss a significant error message. I recall
that WINNT had a backup operator that could access these protected
directories, Is there any way to do this in WINXP?
