    Assuming you are on IIS6.0.

    To backup IIS, you will need to back up following:

    1. IIS Metabase backup.
    2. All Web/FTP content backup.
    3. All SSL Certificates backup.

    For site/ftp/app pool configs, you may want to take backup of individual configuration using All Tasks> Save configuration to File menu.

    HTH.

    Thanks for your mail,

    Can you please explain about Metabase backup steps:

     And Can we do this with job schedule for this activity:

    See here i have taken IIS console backup where that file stores in C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBack

                    .MDO

                    .SCO

    Is this enough to restore whole FTP & APP-POOL & WEB-SITES (or) any thing require?

    And i have one more doubt about this folder:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys

    Is this keys are require for IIS: please suggest

     

    Thank you,

    Regards,
