Six Ways To Backup Windows Registry

Actually there are several methods to backup Windows registry. Some of them, I’m discussing in this article.

Method 1: Using System Restore

When we create a system restore point in Windows XP, it backs up the following items:

DllCache
Local User Profile
COM+ and WMI databases
IIS Metabase

If you want to backup individual registry keys, go to Start –> Run –> regedit
