Recovering Internet Information Services
When Internet Information Services (IIS) data is erased or the service is not functioning as desired, restoring the configuration might be necessary. To restore the IIS metabase data, perform the following steps:
1. | Log on to the desired IIS server using an account with Local Administrator privileges. |
2. | Click Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Internet Information Services (IIS) to start the IIS Manager. |
3. | Select the Web server in the left pane. |
4. | Select Action, All Tasks, Backup/Restore Configuration. |
5. | On the Configuration Backup/Restore page appears a listing of automatic backups that IIS has already performed. Select the desired backup and click the Restore button to perform a manual restore. |
6. | A pop-up window opens stating that all Internet services will be stopped to restore the data and restarted afterward. Click Yes to begin the restore. |
7. | When the restore is complete, a confirmation pop-up window is displayed. Click OK to close this window. |
8. | Click Close on the Configuration Backup/Restore page. |
9. | Back in the IIS Manager window, verify that the restore was successful, close the window, and log off the server when you're finished. |
Backups are stored in %systemroot%system32InetsrvMetaBack, by default.
Recovering IIS Data and Logs
IIS Web and FTP folders are stored in the C:InetPubdirectory. The default location for the IIS logs is C:Windowssystem32LogFiles. To recover the IIS Web site, FTP site, or IIS logs, restore the files using either shadow copy data or a backup/restore tool such as Ntbackup.exe.
