Synopsis
Copies the agent’s service folder to a Backup subdirectory alongside the agent installation path, and exports all registry keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\LabTech to a .reg file. The registry export is re-keyed to HKLM\SOFTWARE\LabTechBackup and imported, making it readable by Get-LTServiceInfoBackup.
