scanreg /restore

Hi

Im new to win 98,dont lauph

Whats the use of editing scanreg.ini to make 10 backups when the scanreg / restore can only see five of them

 

Hi Lonny...

Five seems to be arbitrary number pulled out of a hat by Microsoft, and the Dos restore window will only show five ....

The ability to have more than five has value as in the case of a friend who was responsible for several computers in remote locations that he only saw once every 2 weeks (employee's where constantly bringing games to work and installing them) increasing the backups gave him a chance to rollback without a bunch of grief....it worked for him.....

Cheers
Jake

 

When I had 98 I used to use a batch fileto restore the registry. If you use it instead of scanreg, all of the backups will be available to you. Works great.

 

Perfect, thanks

 

You're most welcome!
