Backup Tool: part Registry Backups empty

redseujac

Build 1487.

After running Registry Cleaner nothing is found under the part Registry Backups of the Backup Tool.

Everything (also all the Registry entries) is found under the part Other Backups.

Is this by design?

So, in which situation something is added under the part Registry Backups?

Maybe I knew this in the past, but I forgot :?

Maybe I'm just confused because the Registry Cleaner isn't really a separate tool actually (= same as Clean and Fix my Computer).

Did you only clean the registry or did you also remove some files (temp files or log files, for example)?

Currently, the policy is that a backup is listed in the Registry backups area if it only contains registry backups, it's under File backups if it only contains files and under the Other backups area if it contains both registry and file backups. For example, if you run the Clean and Fix My Computer, and you clean both registry errors and files, that backup would go under the Others backup.

Thank you very much. I do understand the policy now.

Indeed, there were both registry entries and a couple of invalid shortcuts cleaned.
