Notes on RegRest

RegBack and RegRest save and reload the entire hive, including access control lists (ACLs). Therefore, it is possible to restore a hive and find that you have different access control lists than before.
RegRest does not automatically restore hives that don't reside in the %WinDir%\Config folder (such as some user profiles), but RegRest will do so manually. This avoids name conflicts.
RegRest does not restore hives that aren't loaded. You can copy those files to restore them.
All files must be on the same volume. RegRest renames rather than copies files.
The old hive will be stored in a .sav file, so there must be space for this file.
RegRest will stop at the first bug, except for manually saved hives.
If you have a tape drive, use the Windows 2000 Backup program instead. To open Backup, click Start, point to Programs, then point to Acessories, then point to System Tools, and click Backup.
