SYMPTOMS
========

When you are restoring one or more files using Microsoft Backup, you receive the
following error message:

  Microsoft Backup is now restoring the settings in your system registry. This
  may take a few minutes. Do not shut down your computer until the registry is
  fully restored, or your computer will not work properly.

You receive this error message even if you did not choose to restore the registry
files.

CAUSE
=====

The "Full System Backup.Set" backup set may have been used to create the backup
you are restoring from. When this backup set is used, the registry is restored
regardless of which files you choose to restore.

RESOLUTION
==========

Use a backup set other than "Full System Backup.Set" to back up data on your
computer.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The "Full System Backup.Set" backup set is intended for backing up your entire
hard disk. When you use this backup set, the registry files are contained in the
backup. When you later restore files from this backup, the registry information
stored in the backup is merged into the current registry.

You should not use the "Full System Backup.Set" backup set to perform partial or
differential backups.
