Vista backup of registry files?


Recommended Posts

I am running Retrospect 7.6.2.101 SBS Premium. I have just begun backing up my first Vista workstation. I am receiving the following unexpectd errors that are particularly alarming:

 

...

File "C:\Users\Jim\NTUSER.DAT": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Users\Jim\ntuser.dat.LOG1": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Users\Jim\ntuser.dat.LOG2": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

...

File "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\NTUSER.DAT": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\ntuser.dat.LOG1": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\ntuser.dat.LOG2": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\lastalive0.dat": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\lastalive1.dat": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\COMPONENTS": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\DEFAULT": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SAM": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SECURITY": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SOFTWARE": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

File "C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBack\SYSTEM": can't read, error -1020 (sharing violation)

 

This looks to me like the registry is not getting properly backed up. Is that correct?

No, I don't have the open file backup option. But if I have to pay an extra $900 to add that feature and do a proper disaster restore on my one Vista system, then I'll buy something else that does disaster recovery for a much lower cost.
