All Local Drives does include the System State
Therefore, IIS should be fine - And to confirm I also backup IIS without
problems

I backup plenty of IIS here and ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES gets the job done.
Alternately if you just wanted to backup IIS you would have to backup the
Registry (System State or Shadow Copy Components - same thing) and the
directories themselves, usually c:\inetpub with wwwroot and ftproot under
this. CAUTION - Often developers use "other" places to store their IIS
websites and several virtual directories. Either get into IIS yourself and
verify the locations, ask the IIS admin or Dev or alternately you can use
the IIS admin scripts - iisweb and iisvdir to list them. More information
below on the command line option.

I'm not going to get into it here - but be aware that if you only want IIS
restored that restoring the ENTIRE registry on a machine without restore all
the other files could destabilize your system, so you would have to "carve
out" the IIS Settings. (Registry entries listed below in Microsoft TechNet.)

Another alternate way to backup only the IIS configuration is in the
Internet Services Manager GUI / MMC - with the "Backup / Restore
Configuration" wizard. I'm not sure that you can script this though, so it
might not be suitable for backup.
Have fun! =)

With the system state backups even if defined as a DI they are full backups.
I assume that since the "Shadow Copy Components" are a spin off from the
system state backups that they also are aways full backups.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up IIS
Hi,
I'm looking into backing up IIS and there seems a few ways to do this (and
if using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES you get them all).
First off there's the 'system state' (win2k) and 'shadow copy components'
(win2k3), which backs up 'IIS', although I'm unsure exactly what it backs
up. There is also a straight file backup, which will backup the IIS files.
What's the best method (or what do people find is the best method)?
With 'system state' and 'Shadow Copy Components' does it have to always be a
full backup or will DI work (obviously provided a full backup has been done
previously).
Cheers,
