Yep. Windows has been making a second copy of the registry on boot since 3.1 
days (or maybe 95 days).  I remember seeing someone get the message "your 
registry is corrupt. Please reboot" and having it use the backup copy, back 
before Windows had logins. :-)

Yep. But honestly, I'm not sure what you need to rescue from the registry. 
None of your data files should be in your registry.
