Q. Should I backup my registry on a regular basis?
A.
While the registry can be part of your regularly scheduled backups, the ‘regular basis’ for which you should always backup your registry should be very frequent.

Before you make any kind of change to your registry, you should make sure you have a backup. The reason why it's so important is because even small changes to your registry can make your entire operating system corrupted.

If need be, you can use the Windows System Restore Utility to undo most damage, but fiddling with your registry is not recommended. System Restore has been proven to be unreliable at times.

You can always use a system state backup available in many backup software which will include the needed registry state for a successful recovery.
