Backup Using Reg Save
Hey guys, I am trying to backup a Win 7 Pro 64bit registry using the "Save" command and I keep getting the "Access Denied" on the HKLM and HKU keys. The other HK keys work fine.
Works: reg save HKCU C:\TempFolder\HKCU.hiv /y
Access Denied:
reg save HKLM C:\TempFolder\HKLM.hiv /y
reg save HKU C:\TempFolder\HKU.hiv /y
I have checked all the permissions and have full admin read/write access on all keys, and I sign-in as cmd/administrator.
I have a suspicion that both the HKLM and HKU may have some sort of "in use" or "file open" lock that prevents them from copied. The "Export" command works fine, if I were doing a ".reg" backup, but I want a .hiv extension for the metadata.
Any thoughts or help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
