Automatic Registry Backups With CCleaner?

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hi all:

Under Registry Cleaner...

Curious to know if CCleaner could backup the System Registry automatically for any sensitive action?

Sometimes, I even forget to click on the reminder to make a backup.

Thanks!

I have wondered about having this for a long time

Been suggested. Quick search found 6 threads.

That's a healthy old topic with good suggestions in it!

And with how aggressive the registry cleaner has become in the past few months an Automatic Registry Backup would be essential.

I even thought that, even more useful, would be if CCleaner automatically saved the machine name + user name + time & date stamp, then it would even be more useful!

Such as: HP Compaq DC 7600 convertible minitower/Jenny Delonsio/9-10-2011/3:39 pm

In that example (fake machine & person used for the example), a person would know if they are say, Donald, not to import the entries specific to the software that only exists on Jenny, & avoid messing things up, as well as not to take the entry & try to import it on a similar machine that would be a compaq presario, etc, etc...

Yeah, and like I stated in that other topic which login123 linked to (so I'm thinking we don't really need another topic about it):

It would be better to store any .REG backups made by CCleaner in the users application data folder, or even the users My Documents folder so multiple users aren't guessing which .REG file they'd need to import to fix an issue.

Importing .REG backups would of course be made much simpler for all users (not just those which are new to CCleaner) if CCleaner would have some way to manage the backups to either delete them if they aren't needed and to restore them from within the program itself like so many other registry cleaners do.

h the question is not "can it" (which as of today it cannot) but are the developers willing to add it.
