Julie,
to restore the registry there's no need to restore the adsm.sys
directory, because there's an extra command in both GUI and CL-client.
You'll find the REGREST command in 7.5.16 of ADSM's manual for the
NT-Client.
Let me just quote a short passage of this page:

##################################
7.5.16 DSMC REGREST--Restoring the NT Registry

Use the REGREST command to restore the NT registry.
 
This command is not valid for the Windows 95 client.
 
When registry keys are restored, a backup copy of the active registry
keys is made in the ADSM.SYS\Registry.Sav directory on the system 
drive's root directory (usually called WINNT or WINNT35) before the
registry is restored.
 
When you restore a registry key, ADSM asks you if you want to activate
the restored key.  If you say yes, you must reboot the machine in 
order to activate the restored registry.

I think SEAGATE uses the same method in BackupExec and this is how they
explain the feature in the manual:
NT has a built in feature to schedule the copy process of any open files
to the next system restart. There's a switch in NT's registry that
enables the process, so BackupExec creates a set of files that should
overwrite registry and other critical files like the Kernel itself and
you simply restart the system to get the changes alive.
