Free, simple and does precisely what I want* without BS, and even a portable version. There are various options, but for reference I'll note the one I went for here. Something that's easy to use on a regular basis. Anyway, after the incident I went looking for some more convenient way to backup the registry.
But the hoops required to backup the registry made it easy to slack off. It annoyed me that I was aware of the registry situtation, and even this very thread, and I'm pretty backup paranoid in general.
Unfortunately those settings are somewhat tedious to get right, but it could've been worse.
So far I've only encountered partial lost configuration settings in one app (I think it was the app that I closed less than a second before the outage, so hopefully it's contained to that). It seems like I dodged a bullet and the user registry wasn't greatly affected. Necroing this after I just had the "pleasure" of a near-clusterfuck with the user registry after a power outage.
