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

MS had some good info on their site. I'm actually surprised that they don't
handle DRM amd Windows authentication settings

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/plan/faqsrwxp.mspx
 Restored:

      . Registry

      . Profiles (local only; roaming user profiles are not affected by
restore)

      . COM+ DB

      . WFP.dll cache

      . WMI DB

      . IIS Metabase

      . File types monitored by System Restore as specified in the SDK
document Monitored File Extensions


Not restored:

      . DRM settings

      . Passwords in the SAM hive

      . WPA settings (Windows authentication information is not restored)

      . Specific directories/files listed in the Monitored File Extensions
list in the System Restore section of the Platform SDK e.g. 'My Documents'
folder

      . Any file types not monitored by System Restore (.doc, .jpg, etc.)

      . Items listed in both Filesnottobackup and KeysnottoRestore
(hklm->system->controlset001->control->backuprestore->filesnottobackup and
keysnottorestore) in the registry

      . User-created data stored in the user profile

      . Contents of redirected folders
