I was thinking that was the only way. I would guess that if anything was installed or a configuration change that effected the REG since your last backup, would get lost if you needed to restore. More than likely this would be a DR situation and all bets are on getting the system up and running, QUICKLY.
My take is that any backup of an MQ system is useless except for the config info out of MS03 for rebuilding the QMGR. This relates to restoring "OLD" messages to the QMGR. Sometimes that does more harm than good. ESP when your system doesn't handle dups.
The backups may help if there was info lying around that you wanted to restore from at the time of the backup. Though this is slightly improbable.

Although I've not done this for a queue manager, on other apps, I export the registry entry, and import them when restoring...(using regedit).

When backing up a QMGR on Windows, what do you do about the Registry entries. Assuming you want to restore the QMGR from the backup.
Backing up the entire machine would help the restore but what if there were other Apps on the machine.
Would you recreate the QMGR(s) (as they were to generate the reg entries) and then overlay the info in \MQ\log\ and \MQ\Qmgrs\ from the backup??????
Or do you just recreate the QMGRS and use the MS03 output to reestablish the objects and move from there.
