Backup utility not saving the complete registry

Backup utility not saving the complete registry: Posted by Knack on November 2nd, 2005; I don't see the SAM and SECURITY hive files being backed up when I use
Windows' Backup on the directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\config

How would someone be able to restore those hives if they became changed?

Are there any other important system files that don't get backed up by that

You must back up the System State in order to back up your registry files.
