Cannot back up my registry

(1/3) > >>

ijw:
I downloaded both registry backup and windows repair programs, and neither will make a backup of my registry. The attachment shows the result that I'm getting.

Shane:
Thats very odd. Can you post the backup logs? It will tell me what happened.

But I am willing to be it was a problem with the volume shadow copy.

So try this, in the settings, go to advanced settings and put a check on the box that says always use fallback method. Then try it again :-)

Thanks Shane,

The screen shots basically tell the story I think. Nothing is being saved it seems. I assume the logs would normally be saved in the program folder, but I can't find them. I followed your suggestion and used the fallback method, but with the same result. (Registry Backup b 1)

To be honest with you, I think it's probably not your program, but something to do my OS. (Windows 7 Ultimate.) Other programs I've used haven't been able to save the registry either. Even System Restore, although reporting a restore point has been saved - I have been unable to actually have one of these points work. Causing me some grief, I can tell you.

With this in mind, I tried Windows Repair V2.1.1. I followed the suggested steps; and a lot seemed to happen with the resulting bunch of reports shown in the attachment. Would one of these be helpful?

Cheers Ian.

Shane:
The backup logs are saved with each backup, so check the save location for the backups C:\RegBackup

You will see sub folders there and such and will find the logs for each backup attempt.

Those logs should tell me why the program was unable to backup the registry :-)

You can also click the view logs button on the main screen after you try to backup and it will open the folder for you  :wink:

As you can see with the screen shot, there is nothing there except DESKTOPPC, which is my computer name. That folder is also empty. When you click view the logs button, nothing happens.
