Restoring the Registry

Once the entire registry is backed up to the _RegBackup.reg file using the RegBackup application, you can use any of the following methods to restore the registry:

•On the Power Tools Main Window (see page 1-1),tap the RegBackup icon once, then tap Yes to verify you want to import the information in the _RegBackup.reg to the registry.

•Tap the _RegBackup.reg file

•Perform a Hard Reset (Cold Reboot).

RegBackup.exm

The RegBackup.exm file is located in the root \Honeywell folder and determines the content of the _RegBackup.reg file and the RadioBackup.reg file (see page 8-5).

Note: The RegBackup.exm file does NOT contain registry settings! Only *.reg files contain registry settings.

Sections

_TEMPLATE_ Section

The _TEMPLATE_ section is a template of the basic registry sections. This section is not used when creating the _RegBackup.reg file. Use these subsections as a basis for modifications and additions to the file.

Backup Section

This default section should never be removed as it contains default “excludes” specified by Honeywell. You can, however, add to the section. Do NOT change the Mode (page 9-5)!

Radio Section

The Radio section determines the content of the RadioBackup.reg file when the Backup Settings (page 8-5) app is used on Network Utilities (page 8-1)screen.

Modifying

Modifying the RegBackup.exm file allows you to include or exclude registry key sections and values during an export. Multiple subsections can be created. All should be copied from the Template section which should not be modified.

To specify keys and values in the RegBackup.exm file, re-create the registry keys as sections and subsections in the tree structure just as they appear in the registry. The same rules that apply to copying directories apply here; if you recreate a key from the registry, all the key’s values and subkey’s values will be copied unless there are values in the top- level key.

Note: Only the key or value name is needed in the EXM file and not the associated value data. The EXM file is a structure used to define the backup file and not the actual registry data.

These registry values will be included in the _RegBackup.reg file.
