WinRescue backs up the Registry and important configuration files, packs the Registry, troubleshoots problems, provides fivefold protection from system crashes, backs up any and all files that you desire, and much more (see below).

# Windows XP Won't Start?
Run WinRescue in Safe Mode, run the DOS version of WinRescue in another operating system (like, DOS or another Windows), or use the WinRescue bootup diskette to restore the Registry from outside of Windows.

# Did a Program Mess up Windows?
WinRescue makes snapshots of Windows. If you install a program that messes up Windows, just use the Crash Fixer to restore Windows to the way it was before.

# FIVEfold Protection
WinRescue has five ways to restore:

1. to WinXP Restore Points,
2. to Spare Registry,
3. to WinRescue Backups,
4. from Diskette, CD, or Removable Drive,
5. or to the Original Registry.

Please note that the registry may only be backed up and restored by the Administrator.

# RegPack the Registry
Removes the mush and rebuilds the Registry decreasing the size of the Registry and allowing Windows to run more effieciently.

# Windows Troubleshooters
Troubleshooters can help you track down problems in Windows. The following troubleshooters can be run from the Help tab of WinRescue.

* Display,
* Drives and Network Adapters,
* DVD,
* E-mail,
* Games and Multimedia,

# Start Protecting your Data with WinRescue Now
Now is the time to start backing up your data. You never know when something will happen that could wipe everything out. Be ready with WinRescue. WinRescue can be set up to run automatically. It can run minimized so that you can go on with your business.
It is a good idea to back up to another drive. WinRescue will back up to harddrive, diskette, CD, DVD, DDCD, Zip Drive, Network Drive, and any device that can be copied to in Windows Explorer.

# Backup and Restore Wizards
Wizards provide step-by-step instructions through the backup and restore process.

# Open ZIP Files
The Extractor in WinRescue will open zip files and extract files from them.

# An Uninstaller
Run Backup before installing an application (especially if you are only trying it out). Then if it messes up your computer or you uninstall it soon afterwards, run WinRescue's Crash Fixer to return your operating system back to the way it was before the application was installed (this will remove the hidden entries that applications often leave in the registry).

# Quick Transfer of Files between Computers
With the Backup Properties set on No Compression and Replace, WinRescue will transfer selected folders and files from one computer to another computer on a network (this works good to keep your laptop in sync with your desktop and vice versa).

# Five Backup Types
* Full Backup backs up all of the specified files.
* Incremental Backup only backs up files that have changed since the last Full or Incremental backup. Backed up files will not be backed up again until they change.
* Differential Backup only backs up files that have changed since the last Full or Incremental backup. Backed up files will be backed up again on the next Backup.
* Replace opens up the Backup File and replaces any of the specified files that are different.
* Full (Archive not reset) Backup backs up all of the specified files, but does not reset the Archive attribute (this is for programs like Quicken which do not like the attributes of their files changed).
