One NTUSER.DAT for each user on the machine, some templates and repair.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
C:\Documents and Settings\Default User
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService
C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\NTUSER.DAT
C:\WINDOWS\repair
All hives are stored in %systemroot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG. Except
HKEY_CURRENT_USER. That's stored in C:\Documents and Settings\Name Here.
The major hives and their files are as follows:
Hive File Backup
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE SOFTWARE SOFTWARE.LOG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY SECURITY SECURITY.LOG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM.LOG
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM SAM SAM.LOG
HKEY_CURRENT_USER NTUSER.DAT ntuser.dat.LOG
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT DEFAULT DEFAULT.LOG

Hope this helps. Let us know.

The registry files are in multiple locations, some duplicated, that
you can not access directly...

If your interest is to back it up and keep copies safely stored, it's better
to use Backup to do a System State backup. That backs up the Reigistry and
ALL other relevant things needed to re-establish the system to operational
value. You also get to create a log file when the process completes, which
is a text file and can be read in any editor.
The System State backup option is in the backup wizard, first or second
dialog box, not sure which.
