Backup IIS in Win 2000

Follow these steps to back up your IIS Web server configuration:

1. Open the Internet Information Services snap-in.
2. Click the Computer Object and select Backup/Restore Configuration on the context menu.
3. Click the Create Backup button and type the name of your backup file. The default save location is %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\metaback.
4. Click Close.

Note that this will back up only your IIS configuration. You can then use this backup to restore the IIS settings on that particular machine. You cannot use this backup on other machines.

If you later decide that you want to restore these settings on the same machine and the same Windows 2000 installation, follow these steps:

1. Open the Internet Information Services snap-in.
2. Click the Computer Object and select Backup/Restore Configuration.
3. Select the backup file you want to use and click Restore. Answer Yes if you're asked if you want to restore your configuration settings.
