Is There A Tool To Schedule Registry Backups?

Dec 4, 2004

Under Windows 9x and ME, backing up the entire Windows Registry was a relatively simple task for which many free tools were available. PCMag had one called SaveReg2, a simple batch file that would back up the Win9x/ME registry (User.dat and System.dat) and save any quantity I liked and delete the oldest ones as it progressed.The Windows 2000/XP Registries aren't that simple and I see no automated schedulers for backing up just the Registry--the whole registry.I want a tool that will save the entire Registry on a schedule each day or once a week or month, depending on user preferences, save a user-specifiable quantity and, delete the oldest ones when that quantity is reached.With spyware and adware becoming difficult-to-impossible to remove and as destructive to the OS as it has become, this seems an indespensible tool--if it is available anywhere.

Power PC Tool - Over Powered - Duplicate Files Clean Registry

Apr 4, 2006

i downloaded "Demo Version" Jv16 Power tools 2005 from a link to find duplicate files and clean my registry, I thought that programs I had uninstalled and reinstalled for varius reasons were all duplicated with missing files. The download didn't have the handbook which i found out later i needed so now after running dup. file finder, reg cleaner. I have a very unstable system nothing stays stable and there is a mass of backups I don,t know where to start. The forum there won,t help. supposedly I got a old Beta version. My backups don,t look anything like there's. I would like to go back to before i installed with system restore point but i dont know if it can retrieve files from Jv16 backup or what.

Validation Tool Advantage - Bypass This Tool

May 2, 2008

I use to update my Xp SP-2 regularly from MS website. Now a days it is insisting to install "Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)" first to proceed for downloading update files.Is it a FORCE or I can bypass this tool. I do not want to install it, as somebody told me this is a tool by MS to takeout personal information on my OS (XP) and MS Office and other MS Software.I know I use genuine legal copy.But why should I allow MS to take more information ? Is not WPA through internet is not sufficient ? Can this tool take information on other products/3rd party software like NERO,MS OFFICE and ArcSOft ?

Can't Schedule C Chkdsk Run

Jul 31, 2005

I have the feeling that something is going bad with my hard disk. The system hangs forever at "Saving Your Settings" when I try to shutdown or reboot, It hangs when I try to run Windows Update, and if I try to schedule a chkdsk run on C: it claims to have scheduled it, but when I reboot, nothing happens (other than booting, that is). It almost acts like the registry has become read-only.Is there some way I can boot that will allow me to manually run chkdsk on C:? Or am I better off just assuming the disk is on its way to the junkpile, do one last backup while I can, and reinstall windows from scratch? (Its been a few years since the last.

Can't Schedule A Batch File - Run The Pro Scheduler

Sep 4, 2005

I want to automate the backup of our Retail Management Software database file. The Partner who installed it wrote a batch file, which works fine, but he put it in the Scheduler and it never runs. I did the obvious, checked for correct user name and password, etc. The process kicks off, says it is working, but never terminates and does not actually run the batch file. I tried calling the batch file with cmd.exe, but that doesn't work either.

How Can I Schedule A Task To Disable The Internet?

Oct 23, 2005

I want to keep my computer running through the night, but I don't want to risk getting infected. I was wondering if I could schedule a task to disable the internet or block traffic using my norton.When I go to schedule a task it only allows me to open a program. To schedule something like what i'm talking about, I would probably have to create a program of some kind that combined all the actions into one thing. Maybe using notepad or whatever.I don't know anything about programing, so can I get some help? Any advice? Other alternatives? Am I being to careful?

Backups For Computer

Sep 22, 2007

In the PROPERTIES page of all the drives on my computer, in the TOOLS page there is a box asking if I want to backup the computer. I'd like know the procedure to do this BEFORE I do it.When I bought the computer, I was instructed to make 5 CDs or 1 DVD for Backup discs. Is this the same thing? Of course, there is much more information and/or files on my computer now. Is it just a matter of copying everything on my computer? What files are essential to backup?

Scheduled Backups Don't Occur?

Jul 24, 2005

I recently used the XP backup utility and I found that it worked fine for an immediate backup to my external USB drive but when I attempt to schedule the backup, it fails to occur.I am performing a 'normal' backup to the USB Drive and I scheduled it daily using the wizard. It appears in the calendar and looks normal and consistent with my setup but nothing happens at the appointed time. I confirmed my PC date and time were correct (no AM/PM or date error).I see no indication that it is/has attempting to perform a backup.

Proper Method For Backups

Aug 16, 2005

I am having to set up a computer for a friend of mind and we are having a disagreement on the proper method of backing up information on a hard drive. His system has a Maxtor USB hard drive for backing up the hard drive. He keeps saying he needs a complete system back. I point out that if the entire system is backup on a schedule you are backing up problems as you go. I told him the data is what needs to be backed up (along with the original installation before the data was added. But I am not sure .what is the perferred method for backing up a system?

Converting From FAT 32 To NTFS: Finding The Backups?

Apr 8, 2007

I started the process of conversion to NTFS from FAT32 and I got a response that included: This conversion will also remove your previous operating system backup. Then: Convert may run if this volume is dismounted first. ALL OPENED HANDLES TO THIS VOLUME WOULD THEN BE INVALID (their caps). Would you like to force a dismount on this volume? What are opened handles? What happens when they are invalid?

And how do I find my backup(s)? I have a folder on my desktop Created Oct.29, 2006 that is faded and labeled _RESTORE. Properties shows that it is 1.21GB and has 951 files that are marked Read-only and Hidden but when I open the folder it shows only 4 files of 64KB dated 2002 and 2004. Is that folder related to backups?I want to create a current backup or restore point but I have only 5.15GB left free. Help, please.

Restoring Harddrive Using Reinstall Backups

Nov 1, 2009

My Toshiba Satellite 1905-303 laptop gave out a year or so ago & we bought a replacement desk top. I've since re-formatted the drive which worked fine as a filestore using a caddy with usb cord. However, I've now discovered some original Toshiba XP recovery disks that came with the machine & a CDROM of a reinstallbackups directory that was done fairly close to when it ceased to work. The disk doesn't seem to function in the laptop when I refit it, so I can't get anything on the screen. Can I recover the disk using a separate machine so that I can then refit it & get XP up & running on it, & if so how?

Reformat The Drive From The Laptop To Use For File Backups And Transfers

May 5, 2007

I have removed the 4 Gbyte hard drive from my wife's old Compaq laptop and am running it on my desktop in a drive enclosure as an external drive. The desktop is running XP Pro SP2. The laptop drive has XP Home SP2 and Office 2000 on it, but I don't (can't) use them since it is now an external plug-in drive. I'm currently copying data files off the laptop drive into the desktop drive.

I want to erase and reformat the drive from the laptop to use for file backups and transfers. But I don't want to lose the ability to LEGALLY install the XP on a future machine
