I backup plenty of IIS here and ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES gets the
job done. Alternately if you just wanted to backup IIS you would have to
backup the Registry (System State or Shadow Copy Components - same thing) and
the directories themselves, usually c:\inetpub with wwwroot and ftproot under
this. CAUTION - Often developers use "other" places to store their IIS
websites and several virtual directories. Either get into IIS yourself and
verify the locations, ask the IIS admin or Dev or alternately you can use the
IIS admin scripts - iisweb and iisvdir to list them. More information
below on the command line option.
I'm not going to get into it here - but be aware that if
you only want IIS restored that restoring the ENTIRE registry on a machine
without restore all the other files could destabilize your system, so you would
have to "carve out" the IIS Settings. (Registry entries listed below in
Microsoft TechNet.)
Another alternate way to backup only the IIS configuration
is in the Internet Services Manager GUI / MMC - with the "Backup / Restore
Configuration" wizard. I'm not sure that you can script this though, so it
might not be suitable for backup.
Have fun! =)

With the system state backups even if defined as a DI they
are full backups. I assume that since the "Shadow Copy Components" are a spin
off from the system state backups that they also are aways full backups.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up IIS
Hi,
I'm looking into
backing up IIS and there seems a few ways to do this (and if using
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES you get them all).
First off there's
the 'system state' (win2k) and 'shadow copy components' (win2k3), which backs up
'IIS', although I'm unsure exactly what it backs up. There is also a straight
file backup, which will backup the IIS files.
What's the best
method (or what do people find is the best method)?
With 'system state'
and 'Shadow Copy Components' does it have to always be a full backup or will DI
work (obviously provided a full backup has been done
previously).
Cheers,
