MS DOS command

You can use backup.exe within a DOS window to backup files. But note that this version does not support long file name. This could cause problems after a restore.

You can use the backup program that ships with Windows ME. You will find it in the System Tools folder under Accessories from the start menu. If it is not there you can install it from the add/remove programs in the control panel.

If you are looking to do unattended backups there are many utilities available to automate this process.

If you have a specific reason for using backup v5 that is not addressed here, let me know and I will see if there is a solution.

You have rejected every answer ever given to you, what would make me think you are willing to give up 3000 points to answer a question as simple as this one is?

First off, you should not. It will destroy all your long file names. Find something that will run within Windows ME. Backup Exec and ArcServe both have agents that will run within that operating system. Or you can consider using an imaging software like Ghost or Drive Image and backing up the image to removeable media or just simply copying files to a CD. Each has its pros & cons with price being one of the major decision factors.
