Save Changes to the Registry

The Thor VM2 saves the registry when you:

Warmboot - either from the Registry control panel, the warmboot command or the reboot keypress sequence.

Restart - from the Registry control panel

Suspend/Resume - Either user initiated or upon Suspend timer expiration.

Shutdown - The registry is saved during a controlled shutdown, such as when the UPS charge reaches a critically low level and external power is not available.

The registry save process takes 0 – 3 seconds. If nothing has been changed, nothing is saved (e.g., 0 seconds).
