    Backing up the registry


    Is it possible to have the registry backed up on every bootup? If so how do I set it up? Thanks

    1. Easy way - see Tweaking.com's registry backup tool
    Registry Backup
    Set it up as a scheduled task

    2. Why not schedule a system restore point?

    I tried that tweaking.com thing and it doesn't backup everytime for some reason. I do a system restore.

    If you're not happy with that, you could look for ERUNT. A bit more technical, probably still valid. But really the way to protect yourself is to use disk imaging routinely - we recommend Macrium Reflect (free) + its boot medium + external storage for disk/system/partition images.

    I was using ERUNT with windows 7, will it work for windows 10? I did like that program and it worked very well.

    I noticed Resplendence's Registry Backup & Restore uses the Windows' Task Scheduler -- I'm going to test a daily at boot / startup / only once daily routine and watch it for a week or so. If there is a problem, I hope to smoke it out and report it here. I'm using Windows 7 Pro, however, if it's a Registry Backup & Restore internal problem -- thread starter and I both will know.

    So far, the last three days and today, a registry backup has been made at first coldboot/load/startup; I set RB&R module to only do one backup per calendar day.

    Is that free or paid?

    Hi there

    What's wrong with using the standard Windows registry backup -- as people have pointed out run it as a scheduled task.

    I still think though if you have a decent SSD why not backup the whole OS - only takes around 10 mins with decent SSD's and system.

    OK if slow system then it *could* be worth while backing up registry - but if you are installing / uninstalling stuff you could get registry out of sync with what you've actually got on the computer when you restore it.

    Cheers
