RegBackup
RegBackup is used for saving the Windows registry .
When you install a program onto the PL3000, you are installing more than just fi les. Most Windows programs
also make modifi cations and additions to the Windows Registry. The registry is kind of a catalogue of
settings for all programs, including the operating system. So in order for your installed programs to work
correctly, even after a power loss, the registry needs to be stored in FLASH. The PL3000 uses an automatic
backup system where all changes to the registry (which is in RAM) are backed up periodically. There are
three ways the registry can be backed up:
•
Switching the power off by using the power button. When the PL3000 is switching itself off,
it also backs up any changes to the registry to FLASH.
•
Leaving the unit on for 5 minutes. Any modifi cations to the registry are automatically backed up
every fi ve minutes.
•
Running /Windows/RegBackup.exe. This program triggers a backup of the registry immediately.
