Scanreg | Restore and System Restore

[Daleje]

I'd appreciate a layman's explanation of the difference between 98's Scanreg
Restore [which I found valuable a time or two] and XP's System Restore. I
assume that XP is an improvement. Thanks much.

Daleje,

Scanreg backsup the registry files (system.dat, user.dat, system.ini &
win.ini files) only.
System restore monitors the registry, core system file (.exe, dll and many
other file types) and has a list of file types which are backed up.

System Restore is much more complex than scanreg was and
does much more.


ERunt would do the same as what the old scanreg would do:

Scanreg backed up *just* the registry. SR backs up that and also
changes in system and some other files, so that if you restore with it,
it puts back a consistent system. Read up at the FAQ -
