@mecanicogolf:
As Tom has stated, Restore Points are the preferred option. A registry backup just backs up your registry, nothing more. A System Restore Point includes a registry backup, important Windows files, as well as your program files, so if something borks your computer, you can restore it to a previous point in time. A System Restore Point does not include your personal data files (documents, music, video, photos). You might want to check out this link for more information: https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-a-restore-point-2625988.
I hope this helps. Have a great day.
