I am familiar with exporting individual profiles to *.arg files. But i was wondering if there was a method to backup multiple profiles from an AutoCAD (or its verticals) installation, and restore multiple profiles too?
Working with AutoCAD 2008/2009/2011 and its verticals on WinXP and Win 7 OS

You could export the profile contents under the HKCU registry path. Its virtually identical to the ARG file contents. When they are needed back you can merge the REG files back in as long as permissions are set accordingly.
Thanks, i think i found the keys i need to backup from the registry. I'm working on a batch file to run and export those keyes to a reg file..
This is what's in my bat file:
echo Profile support files copied. echo will copy registry. When prompted enter your login password to complete export. pause REGEDIT /E c:\temp\cad_2011.reg "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R18.1"
FYI
i had to make the regedit export to a local drive. it didn't work exporting direct to a network drive.
