Seems like a nifty and quick way to make a registry backup.

- Is it only in french?
- License is also only in french.

When i start the program, it looks like this (64 bit version) :

[Jacobus]

Strange behavior. I will try to change that. Yet it works fine on my version, 64 bit also
The program is in English and in French and accessible for the blind. Preferences are editable from the buttons in the GUI. Unfortunately do not appear on your screen capture.

Sorry for the delay, I couldn't connect on this forum.

So could I use this in conjunction with a backup of the Program Files directory, etc to do a restore without having to actually reinstall a bunch of stuff?

I've been looking for such a solution for a while.

[Jacobus]

Normally Yes. But personally I prefer to use system restore, saving my files regularly.
The small backup program from the registry in question here allows a rapid recovery in case of problem, after a cleaning or any other intervention on the system. He also retains the dates and reasons of made backups. I have lost the source code and I must again completely

The principle is the following:

Code: Select all

Procedure.s Get_SystemDirectory()
  Path.s=Space(500)
  GetSystemDirectory_(@Path,500)
  ProcedureReturn Path
EndProcedure

date$ = FormatDate("%yyyy-%mm-%dd_%hh-%ii-%ss", Date())
RunProgram(Get_SystemDirectory()+"\regedit.exe"," /backup c:\BdR_"+date$+".reg","") ;Note that spaces in the parameters are important!
;The backup is created on c:\ with the current date
;It's possible to create or move the .reg file in another directory

This may take a few seconds to perform the backup
Double-click on the file is sufficient for restoration.

Hi, new version is available. I finally found my source code and I was able to make a few corrections. I've only tested on win7 (32 & 64 bit) and it works well.
If you see inconsistencies or bugs, please notify me. I added a help in English in PDF file, and you can use bookmarks to navigate inside and I hope have been clear in your language

@rudz : If you want to try again to see what this gives you

Just so you know: RegEdit.exe is in "C:\Windows" in XP, not "C:\Windows\System32".

[Jacobus]

Arg! Sorry, I forgot to test the version of Windows for RegEdit. I will change it. And then I've just noticed that the removal of older backups does not. Thanks for the feedback...

It's corrected!

Finally the location of RegEdit is not important, it is the same on each version. But there is also Regdt32.exe in System32

Download:
(x64) => WBR setup 64 bit
(x86) => WBR setup 32 bit

Works fine now, thanks.
Although i smiled when i saw this : "Select this check box if you are blind"..

I assume you mean colorblind?

[Jacobus]

Hello rudz.

Works fine now, thanks.

OK, I'm glad that it finally works

Although i smiled when i saw this : "Select this check box if you are blind"..
I assume you mean colorblind?

No, I wanted blind say. But it's true that it's not logical.
Some blind use speech reading programs that allow them to use a GUI. Thus I withdraw all that they do not need, images in particular.
