|
**GE Registry backup utility** - Backs up GE Aircraft Engines registry keys from both 32-bit and 64-bit locations.
|
|
|
|
**What it does:**
|
|
1. Reads machine number from GE registry or extracts from hostname
|
|
2. Gets serial number from BIOS
|
|
3. Exports registry keys from both locations:
|
|
- `HKLM:\Software\GE Aircraft Engines` (32-bit)
|
|
- `HKLM:\Software\WOW6432Node\GE Aircraft Engines` (64-bit)
|
|
4. Saves backup files to network share
|
|
|
|
**Usage:**
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# Interactive backup with console output
|
|
.\Backup-GERegistry.ps1
|
|
|
|
# Silent backup (for scheduled tasks)
|
|
.\Backup-GERegistry.ps1 -Silent
|
|
|
|
# Custom backup path
|
|
.\Backup-GERegistry.ps1 -BackupPath "\\server\share\backups"

|
# Before making registry changes, create a backup
|
|
.\Backup-GERegistry.ps1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Automated Scheduled Backup
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# In scheduled task, run silently
|
|
.\Backup-GERegistry.ps1 -Silent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Restore from Backup
|
|
```cmd
|
|
# Double-click the .reg file or run:
|
|
regedit /s "\\server\share\backups\3104-G4B48FZ3ESF-2025-12-10.reg"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Backup Contents
|
|
|
|
The backup `.reg` file includes:
|
|
- Complete GE Aircraft Engines registry tree
|
|
- DNC service configurations
|
|
- Machine communication settings
|
|
- Serial port assignments
|
|
- DualPath configurations
|
|
- Custom GE software settings
|
|
|
|
## Important Notes
|
|
|
|
- Backups are named with machine number (if available) for easy identification
|
|
- Both 32-bit and 64-bit registry locations are exported
|
|
- Existing backups are not overwritten (date is included in filename)
|
|
- Silent mode is recommended for scheduled tasks to avoid interrupting users
