Component Services Class Registration Database

The Component Object Model (COM) is a binary standard for writing component software in a distributed systems environment. The Component Services Class Registration Database is backed up and restored with the system state data.

Component Services have special backup and restore considerations. There are two Component Services elements on each system: the component binaries, including dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) and executable files (EXEs), and the Component Services database. The components are backed up as a part of normal file enumeration. The Component Services database, however, is backed up and restored as a part of the system state data.
