You could try copying registry to different file name for batch backup, or there might be a setting somewhere to change it...


Thanks for your answer Bruce!

Can you explain to me why I am not logged at batch time. Batch file is ran
by schedule service with administrator account. I think this should be same
like I am sitting on the computer and using this account to logon and to
execute batch file. If you are right, what is the purpose of choosing
account for schedule service.

You suggest solution to copy registry to the different file name. I knew a
little about registry files. For me this is replacement for old ini files.
I assume that one registry file have all old ini values. But, when I
interactive copy registry, I sow that there are whole bunch of directories
under system root /wintnt. How can I know what should I copy to be sure in
case of disaster I have all I need. Can you be more specific about what you
mean when you say "You could try copying registry to different file name
for batch backup".

I don't understand, if I have ability to copy all files in /winnt directory
through my batch file, why I can't backup some of this files. Looking
strange to me.

Thanks again for your answer, and please replay to this message with your
personal opinion which I really respect.
