IIS6 want to save the configuration, just under the graphical interface right-click to save, but Windows 2008 under the IIS7 does not have such an option,
IIS7 configuration files are several, under the C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config folder, if you need to manually back up, just copy a config this directory can be.
at the same time, IIS7 can also manage backups through the Appcmd command, such as:
c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\AppCmd.exe LIST site/config/xml > Iisappcmdexport.xml
This allows the configuration file to be exported to C:\Users\Administrator\iisappcmdexport.xml (assuming the user is Administrator).
the other commands are as follows:
1. Backup
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe Add Backup "My backup Name"
2. Restore
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe Restore Backup "My backup Name"
3. Deleting a backup
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe Delete Backup "My backup Name"
4. View Backup
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe List Backup
If you want to bulk move data on IIS to another server, you need to export all the application pools and sites:
1. Export the application pool
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe LIST apppool/config/xml > Poolappcmdexport.xml
2. Export the site configuration
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe LIST site/config/xml > Iisappcmdexport.xml
3. Import the application pool
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe ADD Apppool/in < Poolappcmdexport.xml
4. Import Site Configuration
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe ADD Site/in < Iisappcmdexport.xml
