CCleaner - registry backup

[enthusiast_385]

Hello.

 

I wonder if CCleaner can perform a full backup of my registry.

 

Thanks in advance.

No it doesn't. It only backs up the registry items it is 'cleaning'

 

Best way of course is a system image

 

Other ways are Registry Backup

Or Erunt

Also making a System Restore Point will create a registry backup. However I much more trust using one of those lifesaver tools Hazelnut has linked to which can save you when System Restore fails.
