WINDOWS 98 TWEAKS - Always create back ups!

One of the most important things I learned while using my computer was to create up-to date backups of the most important files and data, and the system registry is one of the most important ones.

Creating backup data of your system registry is a must the registry stores information like system settings, passwords and other important details you wont be able to recover if something goes wrong and you don't have a backup copy. 

Within two easy steps this short guide will show you how you can create a backup copy of your system registry should anything go wrong, once completed you can then save your important data onto CD or Disk for safe keeping.

Step One: Creating the backup.

Press the start button

Select Run

Type in the command scanreg /backup

Step Two: That it? what did I do?!

Once you invoked the back up command in step one, the back up has been made, you can check your back up in the file \Windows\Sysbackup It will be a ".cab" file with the date/time that you created the back up.

You can then copy this file to disk and keep it safe.
