How to Backup the Windows Vista Registry

Backing up the Windows Vista Registry is always a good idea to do on a regular basis. Backing up the registry is useful in the event of registry corruption, spyware, adware or viruses. If you plan to manually edit the registry or run a registry cleaner, then it's also an excellent idea to back it up.

Once you have a backed up Windows Registry, then you can always roll back to the backed up version, in case anything ever goes wrong. We recommend that you be careful before doing any manual edits to the registry. Small edits can cause big damage.

Quick steps to backing up the Windows Vista Registry:

• Open the registry editor, type "regedit" in the search box
• Click file > export
• Give the file a name (eg: registry-backup)
• Change export range to all
• The backup should only take a few seconds

The Vista Registry will now be backed up. We recommend that you keep a copy on external storage too.
