The command: "reg EXPORT /?" is on Windows 12, 11, 10, .. , MS Server 2025, 2022, 2019, .. available
Here are examples of using the
`REG EXPORT` command:
Example 1: Exporting an entire registry branch to a .reg file:
REG EXPORT HKLM\Software\MyCo MyCoBackup.reg
- Exports the entire registry branch
"HKLM\Software\MyCo" to the file
"MyCoBackup.reg". This REG file contains all keys, subkeys, and values ??of the specified registry branch.
Example 2: Exporting a specific value under a registry branch:
REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\MyApp /v AppVersion AppVersionBackup.reg
- Exports the value named
"AppVersion" under the registry branch
"HKCU\Software\MyApp" to the file
"AppVersionBackup.reg". This creates a REG file containing only the specific value.
Example 3: Exporting a registry branch using 32-bit registry view:
REG EXPORT HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\MyApp MyAppBackup.reg /reg:32
- Exports the entire registry branch
"HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\MyApp" using the 32-bit registry view and saves the export file as
"MyAppBackup.reg".
Example 4: Exporting an entire registry tree to a REG file:
REG EXPORT HKLM\Software\MyCo MyCoTreeBackup.reg /s
- Exports the entire registry branch
"HKLM\Software\MyCo" and all subkeys and values ??to the file
"MyCoTreeBackup.reg". The
`/s` option ensures that the entire tree is exported.
Example 5: Exporting a registry branch from a remote computer:
REG EXPORT \\RemoteComputer\HKLM\Software\MyApp MyAppRemoteBackup.reg
- Exports the entire registry branch
"HKLM\Software\MyApp" from a remote computer named
"RemoteComputer" to the file

The
`REG EXPORT` commands allow part or all of the registry contents to be exported to a REG file, which can later be used for import or backup purposes.
