Hi,

I've been doing weekly manual registry backup with your wonderful program. Today I noticed that an update was announced and thus updated to the latest version.

After doing a manual registry update today I checked the total MB used per date and noticed that the latest version 1.6.0 is showing a total of 128 MB while the previous backups are showing about 85 MB.

Question I have is this. Why has the total in MB increased by 43 MB? No changes or new software programs etc. were added by me to justify the increase. Were there any changes made by you? Hope you have an answer to that. TIA!

I list the change log on the bottom of the product page for it

v1.6.0
Windows vista, 7 and newer added a new registry hive to the system called Components. The program now supports this new registry hive.

That hive file is what is giving you the bigger size

Aaahhh, that clears it up Shane. I didn't go down all the way to the bottom of the page and just downloaded the newest update through majorgeeks. Thanks for your rapid response.
