the scanreg tool looks like the easiest way to both backup AND restore the win98 registry....

"Windows 98

In addition to the above mentioned ways to backup your registry, you
can also use the build-in Scanreg tool to make a backup of your
Windows 98 registry:

Making a Backup of the Registry using Scanreg:

If you're running in Windows, select Start > Run and in the Open
box type scanreg /backup

Please note that you won't notice anything, but the backup is
made. You can check the (default) \Windows\Sysbackup
folder to check.

If you're running in MS-DOS mode type: scanreg /backup, at
the prompt, this will backup your registry

Scanreg can be customized to include other files to backup. For more
information see this document: Customizing ScanReg
( windows-help.net )

If you want to restore a backup you made with Scanreg, you have to
(re)start your computer in MS-DOS mode (hold down the [Ctrl] key
while restarting the computer, until you see the Microsoft Windows
98 Startup Menu, and choose the option Command prompt only)
and type scanreg /restore. You will see the 5 last backups of your
registry listed with the date/time."
