Registry Restore?

[JustPlainFred]

Hello All,
As i am fairly new to Acronis (and PC's) please excuse if this is a "dumb Question" (and yes there are dumb questions) Not knowing much about the "registry" or what it does,or even how to access it. I do know that Noobs shouldn't "mess" around with it, but how else do ya learn? Question:
1. Does acronis TI-11 (8101) back up the registry when doing a "full image"?
2. If so, can you restore just the the "registry" to a "before i fooled with it" time with out doing a complete recovery?
3.Where is this "forbidden" land of "OZ" located?
4.How do you access it?
Regards PlainFred

A full image backs up the registry.

Best way to restore it is to restore the entire image rather than try to pull it out. This ensures all the linkages match the information on the disk. If you are certain the other contents will be intact, you can make a backup of the registry by exporting it using the export command under File in regedit (see below). It will let you select the location to store the exported copy. It is a good idea to make a backup before attempting any modifications.

You can inspect or modify (be careful) the registry with a program called regedit. Don't know about vista but the easiest way in XP is to click on the Run command in the start menu and then type regedit in the box.

You should have a good reason for modifying the values and know what the changes do. Typing random guesses into keys is not a good idea. If you are just following a recipe some trusted soul has posted then that's fine but double-check key names, locations, spellings, values, etc.

seekforever,
Hello and thank you for your reply. I wasn't sure about the registry being backed up (as part of a full back up not mentioned in acronis PDF as far as i can tell) I kind of thought it was a separate "deal" I found the "Registry Editor"
Under "System Configuration"/ Tools. Not planing to "mess" with it, just want to learn more of how things work (or don't) Thanks for the tips, Regards Plain Fred
