No, on NT you use a Retrospect supplied utility called Regback or Regcopy
(or something like that). You use it to make a local copy of the working
registry at a specified time of the day. The point being, you can't use
retrospect to back up an *active* NT registry. You then backup the whole
shebang via the client or a local Retrospect backup. Restoring completely
is a little more convoluted but once you do it a few times, it's a snap -
if you're in test, you *should* try it a couple of times just to get
comfortable.
I don't know beans about 95/98 but it's my understanding that retrospect
can backup the active registries of these os's so Regcopy isn't necessary
- you might want to test that though, I'm pretty sure, but.... :-)

Subject: Re: restoring registry
Let me get this straight. I am in the process of testing Retrospect for
our
company. This software can only backup the registry of the computer that
the Tape Drive is directly connected to? So that means that I cannot
backup
the registries of my workstations NT/95/98 machines?
Thanks for any information that you can give!
Amy
