I had written and posted a batch file several moons ago. Since
yours didn't come through, I'm posting the "source code" here. Just
cut and paste it into a file called TBbackup.bat and put that file in
your TB folder (or where ever you want the backups to be stored.)
Also note that this will only backup the current Windows Profile's
registry settings. For other profiles, you will need to run this
while logged into those profiles. Remember, different profiles mean
this utility needs to be run in different folders for each Windows
profile.
Enjoy.
