Registry Backup Beta

I'm using Registry Backup 1.2.0 portable version, but with surphttp://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,278.210.htmlrise I discovered it isn't really portable because it writes recovery console values in registry and a tweaking file in c:\windows.

I think it would be great:

1) an uninstall script in general to restore previous settings and deleting all files generated from the program.
2) generating a dedicated log file (history) of all written values or files created from the program, in the root of the Registry Backup's folder (including previous default values).

And another question... how can I create a registry backup from Windows Vista & 7 Repair Options?

It could be useful to backup a new Windows installation without any registry edit.

This is needed. This is how the program can tell which drive Windows is on when doing a restore from the recovery console. It is only a few bytes big and is just needed for the dos recovery and nothing else.

The program is portable in that it can be ran from a thumb drive and run without needing to be installed. The point is to do proper backups of the registry. :wink:

The registry are just files. If you have access to the files in the windows repair area you can simply copy them to another folder :wink:

No doubt, but I'd like to create a batch file that reproduces exactly Registry backup folder structure (with respective files, of course).

Shane:
You should be able to use the xcopy command.

It has an option on creating the folder structure :wink:

OK guys here is 1.2.1

Give it a test run before Sundays release :wink:

v1.2.1
Added a message box when restoring the registry asking if you want to restore. This is for the users who clicked restore that didn't mean to, this gives them the option to keep it from restoring :-)
Added a open backup location button to the restore section.
Added a delete this backup button to the restore section.
Increased the combo box drop down list size in the restore section. It will now show the whole list without needing to scroll, but only to the max height of the program. If the restore list is bigger than that then it will scroll. This keeps it from being to big and going off screen.
