Default Making a complete backup of OE data

http://www.insideoe.com/backup/clone.htm

I'm following the instruction from the above link. If I follow them I
understand that I'll save everything, email folders, news folders, message
rules, blocked senders, even current view settings.

The only part that I'm unsure about is the registry keys.

I have 12 identities and my folders tree for the message stores are :

E:\Message Store\
Identity 1\
56ACY.... Etc

Identity 2
78DFE.... Etc


Okay in step 2 it says:

"If you use multiple Identities, each must have its own message store
folder, so open the Message Store folder and create one sub-folder for each
Identity. *Then do the same in the Registry Keys folder*. All Identities
share a single address book, so you don't need sub-folders in Address Book."

This says that then I must make 12 subfolders under the Registry Keys
folder.

Like:

E:\Registry Keys\
Identity 1\
Identities.reg
Internet Account Manager.reg
Outlook Express.reg
WAB4.reg

Identity 2\
Identities.reg
Internet Account Manager.reg
Outlook Express.reg
WAB4.reg


Am I correct? I'm confused because the instructions seem also to say that
all I'll have in the Registry Keys folder is:

E:\Registry Keys\
Identities.reg
Internet Account Manager.reg
Outlook Express.reg
WAB4.reg

TIA.
