This article was previously published under Q187585 SYMPTOMS
When you configure Microsoft Backup to back up your registry, the registry
may not be backed up.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if either or both of the following conditions
exist:
- You are not backing up the Windows folder.
- All the files that you are backing up are on a drive other than the
boot drive.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use the appropriate method:
- Back up the Windows folder when you back up the registry.
- Back up at least one file on the boot drive when you back up the
registry.
MORE INFORMATION
The registry contains several references that are dependent on device
drivers and dynamic-link library (DLL) files located in the Windows
folder. The registry can not be restored properly without the
corresponding Windows folder.
