Windows XP registry backup with 3rd party software

[Guest]

I use 3rd party program (Backup4all) for my daily data backups.
I'd like to add the full registry to these backups. Is it sufficient to backup
\windows\system32\config, or is there anything else I should be adding?

You won't get user registry files that way. The list of hives currently
open at any given time can be found here:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\hivelist

I'd simply recommend using the very tried-and-true freeware utility,
ERUNT:

If it is a third party software, someone who uses it may answer your
question, so, try the software newsgroup or email them. But, I supose yes.

ERUNT is the tool to use for backing up the registry:
