i dont think tune-up has this not sure !

to manually do it :
Click Start > Run > regedit > OK.
The Registry Editor opens.
Scroll to My Comp at the top of the left pane.
Click "File" and then click "Export".
Choose the location and the click save.
to restore simply double-click the backup file.

else search for a freeware here

CC cleaner and spybot also have registry backup utilities. BAcking it up manually is the best method though.

Yes... what anandk says to b done in case of Windows.

Can b done in another way though...

to manually do it :
Click Start > Run > regedit > OK.
The Registry Editor opens.
Click "File" and then click "Export".
Choose the location and the click save.

Then @ the bottom of the windows, export range: All.
Give filename and presto... job done.

Well.. u can also use the run command directly.. but only for individual HKEYs (hives)... so supposing u want a whole reg backup.. u can actually make 5 reg files named HKCUreg, HKLMreg, HKCRreg, HKUreg and HKCCreg by just running 5 run commands
reg export hkcu c:\HKCUreg.reg; reg export hklm c:\HKLMreg.reg... so on for the 5 hives respectively.

Mayb even make a batch file for the same
Like this:

reg export hkcu c:\hkcureg.reg
reg export hklm c:\hklmreg.reg
reg export hkcr c:\hkcrreg.reg
reg export hku c:\hkureg.reg
reg export hkcc c:\hkccreg.reg

Save it in notepad as regbackup.bat
