Registry backup portable vs installer

[Electro]

Hi

I have saved the portable version to a usb stick.

When I make an update do I have to adjust any settings on where the backup will be saved?

As I am using the portable version which is on a usb stick, will the backup be automatically saved to the usb stick, or will the backup still be saved on my computer's harddrive?

Is it a good idea to use both the portable and installer versions, as with the installed version I will get automatic registry updates?

Thanks

- Yes, if you want to save the copy to the USB stick then you must change the place where the copy will be saved.
- You can use both versions at the same time. No problems should arise. But why use 2 versions at the same time ?

I was thinking about 'automatic updates' with the installed version, and having a backup on the usb stick aswell.

I was also thinking that there might be an option to save a backup on my computer aswell as the usb stick.

A nice feature of using the portable version is that you can keep backups of multiple machines on a USB stick.

Using the portable and installed versions is sort of a belt and braces approach, you have your backups in more than one location, which is sort of the definition of a backup, rather than just a copy.

So on my usb stick I should create a folder for the backups and have them saved to that folder?

- No, the backup folder will be created automatically when the program runs.
