IIS6 virtual host migration method (metabase. XML)

P.s. instructions on using backup/restore configuration 1. You must select: use password to encrypt backup 2. Backup and Restore file path: C: \ windows \ system32 \ inetsrv \ metaback 3. the IIS configuration information is completely restored. Therefore, the website directories and website accounts are pre-configured, consistent with the original server 4. If the server environment is different, you can directly modify metabase. when you reference IIS 6 that was previously reinstalled, the configuration file (c: \ windows \ system32 \ inetsrv \ metabase) of IIS 6 is always referenced. XML), reload the new system, and copy the site configuration information in the file to the configuration file of the new system, more than 40 sites on my VM may be added to several hundred in the future, which is troublesome and error-prone, so I always wanted to find a simple method. I also know that IIS 6 itself has a backup/restoration configuration function, but each time I back up the files (in the c: \ windows \ system32 \ inetsrv \ metaback directory ), they cannot be restored in the new system. The report says the signature is incorrect and it is very depressing. Therefore, I always thought that the IIS 6 backup configuration file is not as convenient as Apache. It wasn't until yesterday that I found that when I used to back up/restore the configuration, I only needed to select "use password to encrypt the backup" to migrate it on different machines. I don't think IIS 6 is too stupid to provide this function, but I am too stupid to find it.
