Backing Up Your Registry
Installation & Administration Guide • 91
Backing Up Your Registry
Windows NT places system configuration information into a structure known
as the registry. A Windows NT system will not run without a registry, and a
damaged registry may prevent a system from booting. Keeping a backup of
the registry can help you to quickly and easily recover from a system failure.
To back up your registry
1. Go to Start > Run.
2. In the Open text box, type regedit, and click OK.
3. In the Registry Editor, select My Computer.
4. Go to Registry > Export Registry File.
5. Choose a safe destination, and a proper file name for the registry backup.
Example: F:\regbackup or \\network path\regbackup.
6. In the Export Range box, select All.
7. Click Save.
8. When the save is completed, close the Registry Editor.
A 1.4 megabyte diskette is too small to hold the registry backup.
