Tivoli Storage Manager for Windows Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide
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:
- Tivoli Storage Manager will not back up the copied registry files in the
adsm.sys directory if you exclude these files in your
include-exclude list.
- To back up all profiles in hkey_users, you can issue the command
backup registry user curuser. The name of the profile will
be the actual registry key with the following filename:
adsm.sys\registry\machine\users\userprofiledir\
S-1-5-21-8533442-1654749355-78804774-1152
In the above example, machine is the name of the workstation on
which the profiles reside and userprofiledir is the user profile
directory specified in the registry for that user. This registry key
also identifies the Security ID of the current user.
- If the Web client service is run in the context of the local system
account, Restore User Profile is not available. This happens
because there is no user profile to restore on a local system account.
For information on system objects that must be backed up together, see "Backing Up System Objects".
