Windows xp registry restore

using versions 1.7 and 1.8, aisbackup backs up the registry but attempts to restore fail . Tools/restore registry produces a selection page but no delete\restore option check box. Is this fault known or am I missing something?

Early beta versions of AISBackup 1.7 did not create the registry log file correctly, this corruption would cause the
Tools / Restore Registry option not to display any registry backups.
The file RegistryBackups.dat contains the details of the registry backups:
The file should look something like this:
Code: Select all
37826.4107987269 Windows ME C: [WINDOWSME] C:\Source\Delphi5\BACKUP\Live Backup\Regbackup\Reg2003-07-24 09-51.zip
37826.4898411574 Windows XP E: [WINDOWSXP] C:\Source\Delphi5\backup\Live Backup\Regbackup\Reg2003-07-24 11-45.zip
37853.5595946065 Windows XP E: [WINDOWSXP] C:\Source\Delphi5\backup\Live Backup\Regbackup\Reg2003-08-20 13-25.zip
The data shown has wrapped lines, there are only 3 records and each starts with a number like 37826.4107987269 (This is the date and time of backup expressed as a number).
If you are careful you may use Notepad to edit the garbage from the start of the file but it may be easier to delete RegistryBackups.dat and start again.
Please let us know if this fixes the problem.

Tools / Restore Registry problem

Hi
I mis-understood the problem
The problem is the buttons are not visible if large fonts are installed on the PC. This has been fixed and will be uploaded soon.
