RDISK.Exe is for NT and does not exist in Windows 2000 anymore. For all Windows 2000 products use the NTBackup.exe program (can be also found in startup/accessories).
Preparing for recovery is a little more complex on Windows 2000 then on NT 4.0. The NTBackup.exe program provides you with two special backup type for system recovery: 1. Emergency Repair Disk (ERD) Unlike the ERD for NT 4.0, the Windows 2000 ERD does NOT contain any registries. If you choose to create an ERD from backup you will notice that it gives you an option to save the registry. Choosing this option DOES NOT save the registry to diskette. On the contrary, it saves it to the Systemroot\Repair\Regbak folder. 2. System State (found on the Backup Tab, check box near the bottom of the directory tree) The System State backup is new to Windows and it consist of the following components: Professional and Member Servers ------------------------------- * Registry * COM+ class registration database * System startup/boot files Active Directory Servers Only ----------------------------- * SYSVOL Directory Certificate Servers Only ------------------------ * Certificate Services database System State is backup as a whole and restored as a whole (ie. you cannot select individual components). The right thing to do is to routinely do both, ERD and System State, backups when changes occur.

Can someone tell me how you back up your registry. I was always taught, try to stay away from the registry, so I am not that familiar with it.
