Use Registry Editor to import the exported registry file.

Note that if you are migrating to a different environment, for example after a PC has been replaced, the registry cannot be restored because it contains machine-specific information.

This subsection describes various JP1/Software Distribution files that need to be restored. Because various files contain defined relationships, restore the acquired backup files at the same time.

(a) Package files

Store the backup of the package files under the directory used for storing relayed packages, which was specified in the Specify Work Directories dialog box during installation. The value specified for the directory used for storing relayed packages is set in the following registry:

• In a 32-bit version of the OS
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HITACHI\NETM/DM/P\ResourcePathName
  
• In a 64-bit version of the OS
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\HITACHI\NETM/DM/P\ResourcePathName
  

(b) Files obtained by remote collection

Store the backup of the files obtained by remote collection under the work directory for remote file collection, which was specified in the Specify Work Directories dialog box during installation. The value specified for the work directory for remote file collection is set in the following registry:

• In a 32-bit version of the OS
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HITACHI\NETM/DM/P\CollectionSitePath
  
• In a 64-bit version of the OS
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\HITACHI\NETM/DM/P\CollectionSitePath
