Backup the DCM Registry (NicVue)
Backup the DCM registry prior to doing any service
work on the system.
The DCM (Device Configuration Manager) registry is
NicVue’s list of devices and path names for managing
data files. Locate the DCM registry file (dcm.reg) or
DCM registry backup file (mmddyy.reg), where
mmddyy represent the date of backup. These files
typically reside in C:\Nicolet\Npa.
