Ärende: Re: Using Win2K Resource Kit's Regback.exe and RegRest.exe on XP
========================================================================
From: "Rich Gauszka" <gauszka@hotmail.com>

System Restore monitors and backs a core set of files defined in

  \System32\Restore\Filelist.xml



PCWorld has recommended ERUNT as a registry backup for XP (  I'd rather stay
with System Restore )

http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/

Should I disable Windows XP's System Restore function when using ERUNT? Answer:
Yes! Though System Restore backs up more than just the registry, the registry
is essentially all you need to revert your system to a previous state.
Advantages of ERUNT over System Restore are that each restore folder is
standalone and independent of the others, minimizing the risk of restore
failures, and that a restore can easily be done from outside Windows. Also,
ERUNT backups usually take up less hard drive space than System Restore's
restore points and may be individually deleted at any time.
