Registry


This tab allows you to include or exclude specific branches of the Windows Registry. Not scanning all registry branches reduces the time for snapshot creation and provides, for example, the possibility to exclude all branches which are not save to be transported to other clients. The specifications defined in this tab are valid for all steps of the snapshot process.

The following registry branches can be specified:
