Our IIS 6 are hosting many web sites (like 200) and we need to back up just
one of them (we don't want to back up entire metabase).
How can we do that?

We tried with simple copy of main folder but when we restore it all
subfolder/file original permissions were missing.

Any help will be appreciated.

THKS!

You can export a single node of the IIS 6.0 metabase using various tools

But what exactly do you want to backup? Metabase configuration? What about
web site content? What about ISAPI filters? Custom COM components? ODBC
DSNs? Virtual directories outside the physical root? NTFS permissions?

I suppose all web site config. I found this.

to back up:
1. Zip web site main folder
2. Select web site on IIS
3. Right click - All tasks
4. Save configuration to a File...

to restore it:
1. Unzip web site main folder to original location
2. Select Web Sites on IIS
3. Right Click - New
4. Web Site (from file)...

Should it work?

Thanks again

Will it work? It really depends.

What about ISAPI filters? What about ODBC DSNs? What about virtual
directories not included underneath the website's physical root? What about
NTFS permissions? What about COM components? What about load balancing
configuration? What about URLScan configuration?

If you have none of those things, then "yes" it will probably work. But only
you know what you are using, and what you aren't.
