Back up IIS settings

IIS provides the backup and restoration functions for IIS settings. You need to back up IIs before restoring IIS settings. The backup process is simple:Windows2000ServerFind "Management Tools" in the "Start" menu, click "Internet Service Manager", right-click the server name, and click "backup/restore configuration" in the pop-up menu ", the window shown in the figure appears. Click the [Create backup] button to display the dialog box for entering the IIS configuration backup name. Here we enter "IIS Backup 1 ". Click the [OK] button to complete IIS backup.

Note: Before backing up IIS, You need to completely set the Web site, FTP site, and SMTP site, because the system only backs up the current configuration.

Restore IIS configuration

After a while, if the IIS configuration no longer meets your needs, you can restore the configuration during Backup. In the same way, open "Internet Service Manager" and Right-click the original server name. In the displayed menu, click "backup/restore configuration". A Window similar to the figure appears, however, unlike the previous one, the original backup (such as "IIS Backup 1") will appear in the list box and process the selected status. Click the [restore] button. The system will pop up a dialog box prompting you to "Restore is a time-consuming operation. It will overwrite all current settings and cause all services to stop and restart, are you sure you want to continue? ". If no one is using these services, you can click [Yes] to restore the IIS configuration. If someone is using these services, we recommend that you do not recover data to avoid data loss.

After you click the [Yes] button, the system will delete all the current IIS configurations and restore the original backup configurations. This process depends on the number of IIS Site configurations, generally, it can be completed in one or two minutes.

In addition, although the system can save multiple backup files, after each backup is restored, the previous configuration will be overwritten. Be sure to ensure the accuracy of the configuration operations to be restored!
