Backing UP IIS Servers

Hi Guys,

Can an expert confirm for me whether a full system backup (ntbackup) is
enough to get my websites within IIS back up and running via a full system
restore?

I am confused about what a metabase backup is and why I would specifically
do one, and whether I should be taking these prior to my full system backups
(via ntbackup) so ntbackup would come along and backup the metabase file as
well.

Any help would be appreciated

Re: Backing UP IIS Servers

What version of Windows are you running?

Cheers
Ken
