+ <para>
+ This controls the backend for storing the configuration.
+ Possible values are <emphasis>file</emphasis> (the default)
+ and <emphasis>registry</emphasis>.
+ When <smbconfoption name="config backend">registry</smbconfoption>
+ is encountered while loading <emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis>,
+ the configuration read so far is dropped and the global
+ options are read from registry instead. So this triggers a
+ registry only configuration. Share definitions are not read
+ immediately but instead <parameter>registry
+ shares</parameter> is set to <emphasis>yes</emphasis>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note: This option can not be set inside the registry
+ configuration itself.
