Hello Group:

I been trying to work out a way to connect into a machine
and backup the windows registry, but without any success,
part of the problem is that I am new to the Win32 API calls,
and sure could use your help, how can I backup the system
registry from my program.

Thanks for the pointers.

Hi,

Use the following API's to backUp the Windows registry:

GetCurrentProcess()
OpenProcessToken() using TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES
LookupPrivilegeValue() using SE_BACKUP_NAME
AdjustTokenPrivileges() using SE_PRIVILEGE_ENABLED
RegConnectRegistry()
RegEnumKeyEx()
RegCreateKeyEx()
RegSaveKey()
RegCloseKey()
AdjustTokenPrivileges(hToken,
TRUE,
NULL,
0,
NULL,
NULL);
CloseHandle()
