Backing up the Windows NT Registry
It is very important to back up the Windows NT Registry before
making any changes to it. This will allow you to recover if the
changes make your system unusable. Here are two ways to back up
the Windows NT Registry. The backup utilities described here are
included with NT Workstation:
■
Use the
ntbackup
utility to create a tape copy of all data files
and Registry information. Be sure to select the Backup Local
Registry
option when performing the backup.
■
Run the
rdisk
utility with the
/s
option to create a copy of the
Registry on a hard disk. (A typical backup file is 5 MBytes to
10 MBytes in size.) Then use
xcopy
or some other command to
copy the information to removable media. You must have the
three NT boot floppy disks to restore an RDISK-saved registry
to your workstation.
