Yes , just TB's reg entries and no I don't do it manually. I assume
you don't subscribe to TBUDL as I posted the method I've been using
with 100% success rate for the past 2-3 years on there yesterday. I
posted it for someone who wanted to move to another PC.
I use a little batch file to save the reg entries, I then zip up my
whole TB directory and I can then move it to any PC I want or restore
it as a backup just by unzipping the directory and then running the
.reg file. No clean installation necessary beforehand.

I created a sub folder The Bat!\registry and have the above batch file
in there. When it's run it saves all TB's reg entries and I then use
Winrar to rar up the whole TB folder, the newly created reg file get's
zipped up with it.
It's just a matter then of unzipping it, double clicking on the reg
file and it's as if it's never been moved or changed.
I don't trust TB's inbuilt backup facility, not only that it doesn't
create a 100% complete portable backup.
The only problem I ever had was I once moved from a win98 machine to a
win2k machine. That move went fine but I had trouble moving back again
because of the differences in the registry.
You also need to keep directory structure and paths the same though,
if not you can edit the reg file manually to point to the new
locations.
HTH?
