That looks like a good process to avoid headaches during registry disasters.
I have to say, though, that my system runs much better after reverting to a
pristine registry. The entire recovery process, from "WTF just happened?" to
"Why won't it boot?" to "Uh-oh, I think the registry is hosed..." to "OK, guess I
have to revert to an old registry backup" to "Most applications are reinstalled
and working properly again" only took a little over a day. If I'd had this
backup process in place I'd have been back on the air within an hour, but my
system would have been right back at its funky-behavior state.
It's fairly scary to realize how messed up the registry had gotten in less than
9 months after a clean install. Just gotta love that rock-solid reliable
Windows environment. NOT.
