Best Answer

To be honest, you really don't even need a tool for this. All you have to do is locate the registry hives and copy them somewhere, or even make copies in the same folder, but with other extensions.

Or you can use Regedit that comes with Windows. While it is good for exporting portions of the registry, it is not good for exporting the entire registry. Some keys or branches will be locked while you try to export them, and they will be omitted from the exported file.

What is systemdat?

System.dat was first used in Windows 95 and contains part of the Windows registry. The system registry is where all the Windows settings and most of the application and driver settings are stored. It is a very important file and should be left alone, though you could run a registry cleaner and a registry packer and reduce the size of it. Since XP and higher versions of Windows handle the registry more efficiently, it is best in the newer Windows versions to avoid most registry tools (though there is no harm in running a registry packer which does an internal defragmentation of the registry).
