If you can use the RegCopy utility outside Retrospect you can dump the
registry to disk before the amanda schedule and then wait for amanda to pass
and backup it with the other files.
If you cannot use RegCopy, use the builtin Windows backup tool to make a
"System state backup" on disk.

I've never used amanda to do a bare metal recovery or something similar. I
think that at the moment Amanda is not reliable enough to perform a bare
metal restore on a Windows machine.
