Back Up the IIS Configuration
To back up your IIS configuration, follow these steps:
1. In the IIS snap-in on the local computer, click the Computer icon under Internet Information Services.
2. Click Action and select Backup/Restore Configuration.
3. Click Create backup, choose a name for your backup file, and then click OK.

NOTE: The default location of the backup is the %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\MetaBack folder. If you want to save your backup file to another location, you can copy the file from this default location to another location. Keep a copy in the default location to allow for an easy restoration. Note that by default, C:\Winnt is the %SystemRoot% folder in Microsoft Windows 2000.
