ERUNT
Make a complete Windows registry backup using ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility for NT).
Microsoft made a wise decision at the time of its invention of Windows 95 to systematize all computer and application specific data which was broaden over numerous INI files prior in a centralized Windows database. This is called as the system “registry“. In the entire windows system today, the registry is the crucial parts and without the registry the system will not boot. The registry is very sensitive to get damaged or corruption hence it is highly advisable to back the registry files from time to time.
ERUNT is a utility tool using which can help you to execute the complete the Backup and Restore process of registry files for Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista. You can back up your registry by two methods using System Restore or using ERUNT.
After downloading ERUNT you can install it on your system wherein you have to backup your registry. After installation you can find the shortcut of ERUNT the Startup. This process backup the registry for the date on which you have created the back up.
Why use ERUNT ?
- When I REALLY need the MS System Restore function to get me out of registry trouble, it will not always work.
- I need to have an easy, quick way to create one or more full registry backups, independent of System Restore, whenever I want (e.g. before I install any application that might corrupt my registry database).
- I need to have backups created automatically every day, with the versions for prior days limited in number and with the older versions that are excess to requirements being deleted automatically (because I will forget to do all that).
- I need to be able to restore a backed up registry easily from within WindowsXP/Vista.
- If I can’t boot into Windows XP/Vista, I need some reliable way to get at the backups of the registry that are on my hard drive, preferably by booting into Safe Mode..
- On some occasions it may not be possible to boot into Safe Mode, and therefore I also need to be able to restore a backup of the registry after booting with a bootable CD (UBCD4WIN CD).
**Please note: The “Export registry” function in Windows Regedit is of no benifit if you have to create a complete backup of the registry. It does not export the whole of the registry (for example, from the “SECURITY” hive no information is saved), also the exported file can’t be used later to replace the current registry with the old one. However if you re-import the file, it gets merged with the existing registry without deleting anything which is added since the export.
