Registry Backup Beta
Tomas_Sweden:
1. I installed Registry Backup on my brothers computer who has win xp, everything works perfectly. :cheesy:
When I do a scheduled backup when the computer starts, it takes about 30 seconds on his computer.
With my computer, Win 7 64-bit and much better hardware it takes approximately 2-3 minutes.
What could be the reason for the big difference?
The "Registry Backup" backups 12 files on my brohters computer and 13 files on mine.
2. And another question in "C:\Windows" I have a file that is called "tweaking.com-regbackup-TOMAS-DATOR-Microsoft-Windows-7-Home-Premium-(64-bit).dat" what is that?
3. Then look in the "C:\RegBackup" folder and look at the backup I have done, I would like to see if the backup is made with Volume Shadow Copy without have to open the Registry Backup. I have a folder that is called "2012-07-24_07.26.17" if there is added for example how many files that is saved I realize right away if vss works, so that folder would be called: "2012-07-24_07.26.17_(13)" is it possible to add that?
I'm thinking if my registry is all messed up and I start a bootable usb drive and can't start "Registry Backup" then it's easy to distinguish if I see how many files that is stored in the backup folder. I know that I can open "Log_Vss" and "Log_Backup" but it takes more time than just see how many backup files there is.

I really like that makes it easy to distinguish manual backup from the scheduled! :smiley:

If you open it with notepad, you'll find the answer:
--- Quote ---This file is used for the dos_restore.cmd file to find which drive windows is on when doing a restore from the windows recovery. Please leave this file if you use the tweaking.com - registry backup program

By the way, Shane, I think having a list of all files and registry settings edited and/or created from all your tweaking utilities is a good idea.
Using Windows Repair AIO, I saw a hidden file called pcwintech or something of similar in c:\ folder.
If I were decide to not use Windows Repair or Registry Backup anymore, I'd like a comfortable way to remove all these "leftovers" or at least to know in advance their existence without searching them.
Currently, it's like a treasure hunt.

I see a C:\Program Files (x86)\Tweaking.com\Registry Backup\pcwintech.ocx which is something to do with ActiveX I think.

There shouldnt be any left over files. All DLL or OCX files are in with the program in the same folder. The manifest file tells windows to use them.
If you find out what file it was on the c:\ let me know :wink:

Shane do you know why it is such a big difference?

Shane if you understand what I mean, what do you think?
And I have a "Log_Backup" in C: that belongs to Registry Backup, the date on the file is 2012-06-27.
