Partition Magic is not a registry backup tool. It is a partition management
tool.
I am venturing a guess that you mean ERUNT. There is a brief description for
it here http://www.snapfiles.com/get/erunt.html

A good option is WinRescue XP http://www.superwin.com/frescuex.htm

Yes, ERUNT.

I believe PM offers some rescue ability for Win OSes, but perhaps not XP.

Get both of these...

NTREGOPT NT Registry Optimizer
ERUNT The Emergency Recovery Utility NT
http://home.t-online.de/home/lars.hederer/erunt/

ERUNT [[Note: The "Export registry" function in Regedit is USELESS (!) to
make a complete backup of the registry. Neither does it export the whole
registry (for example, no information from the "SECURITY" hive is
saved), nor can the exported file be used later to replace the current
registry with the old one. Instead, if you re-import the file, it is
merged with the current registry, leaving you with an absolute mess of
old and new registry keys.]]

NTREGOPT [[Similar to Windows 9x/Me, the registry files in an NT-based
system can become fragmented over time, occupying more space on your hard
disk than necessary and decreasing overall performance. You should
use the NTREGOPT utility regularly, but especially after installing
or uninstalling a program, to minimize the size of the registry files
and optimize registry access.

The program works by recreating each registry hive "from scratch",
thus removing any slack space that may be left from previously
modified or deleted keys.

Note that the program does NOT change the contents of the registry in
any way, nor does it physically defrag the registry files on the drive
(as the PageDefrag program from SysInternals does). The optimization
done by NTREGOPT is simply compacting the registry hives to the
minimum size possible.]]

Partition Magic http://www.symantec.com/partitionmagic/features.html It does
not, and never has, offered any way to recover the registry for any version
of Windows nor is it a registry tool. It can hardly rescue itself from
itself ;-)

W. I think you want ERUNT which you can download for free here:
http://home.t-online.de/home/lars.hederer/erunt/ ERUNT is the registry
backup and NTGOPT is the optimizer. Backup first. Optimize second.
Reboot. Regards Dingo

If you mean the free ERUNT -
http://home.t-online.de/home/lars.hederer/erunt

it is very good for use as a fall back, should System Restore (which is
the normal way to restore the registry) gets in trouble. I have no
knowledge of what PM supplies, but would be sceptic.

Best for a real fall back is to keep the system's partition down in
size, without data in it, and back it up with one of the Image tools
so you can restore the whole thing *exactly* as it was. Of these I use
Image for Windows from www.bootitng,com
