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?
- extensive discussion related to the tutorial on this (see Tutorial section)
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 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.
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.
