CAUTION !
To ensure a successful recovery of the registry in case of disaster,
do not include individual registry files or HKEY entries in the same file list that
is used to back up the entire registry. If you are using a NetBackup exclude list
for a client, do not exclude any registry files from your backups.
See the Recovery Procedures chapter in the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide -
Windows NT Server for instructions on restoring the registry in the case of a
disk failure.
Back Up Individual HKEYs (do not use for disaster recovery)
As mentioned above, do not include HKEY entries in the same class file list
used to back up the entire registry. However, if you want the ability to restore
individual keys within the registry, create a separate class and then specify the
desired HKEYs in the file list for that class. The following is an example HKEY
entry for a class file list:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE:\
Remember, you cannot perform a disaster recovery by restoring HKEYs. In
addition, backups and restores will also be slower than backing up the registry
as a whole.
