Size of Registry Back up
by hodunwun - 11/25/04 11:40 PMI just backed up my reigistry and was surprised that it would not fit on a floppy. Ended up using a 100 meg zip disk. The registry back up was 52 megs. Does that sound right? xp pro, p4 2.2 with 512 megs rambus.

Perhaps a XP user will post and tell you whether your in the ballpark or not.

Good luck,
