Backup Registry

The backup registry command backs up the Windows registry. The registry is a centralized database that contains information about hardware, applications, and operating system settings for each workstation on the network. On Windows 2000, XP, and .NET, this command is processed automatically as part of the SYSTEMOBJECT domain.

Use this command if you must back up the registry immediately.

Registry backups are copied to the adsm.sys directory under the root directory of the system drive. If you are using Windows Me, the directory is adsm98.sys. The registry is then copied to the server.

For windows NT and Me:

For information on system objects that must be backed up together, see "Backing Up System Objects".
