Backup/restoration of IIS server knowledge

The cause of an error on the IIS server is complex. Errors such as service startup failure, IIS server process interruption, or site failure will be recorded in system logs. No matter what errors occur in IIS, you should use the Event Viewer to view related events recorded in system logs before determining the troubleshooting solution.

If there is a 10 thousand foolproof server security plan in the world, it is backup. Someone once pointed out that the three most important tasks a good system administrator has done are backup, backup, and backup.

The implementation mechanism of the IIS server includes MetaBase, A MetaBase similar to the Registry. The configuration attributes of the IIS server itself and the site are all stored in Windows 2000 and MetaBase. Therefore, you only need to back up the relevant registry and metadata to save all site-related configurations. Even after the site is deleted or IIS is re-installed, the backup can still be used to restore the original status.

To back up an IIS server, follow these steps:

1. Expand the IIS node in the IIS Server Manager and select the computer to be backed up.

2. Click the operations menu and select backup/restore configuration ].
3. list all backup files and backup time in the backup/restore configuration dialog box. Click Create backup.

4. In the backup configuration dialog box, specify the name of the new backup and click OK ].

5. Click Close to complete the backup.

By default, the backup file is saved in the Winntsystem32inetsrvMetaBack directory.

The backup recovery method is similar. In the backup/recovery configuration dialog box, select a backup file in the backup list and click Restore ]. Click OK in the prompt dialog box shown in the left figure. After a period of time, the IIS server is restored to the status when the backup is performed.
