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