NetBackup 7.5 Unable to Backup Windows Webserver \inetsrv\ directory

[Kwinter]

We had a major problem with our production webserver and we could not recover any of the files located on any of our webserver's folder:

    C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config

Does anyone know how to backup a windows server IIS folder:     C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv

Thanks,

Kwinter

I did find out that using the following command:

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\APPCMD add backup

will backup the critical files we need, does anyone have any idea to implement this command inside the client backup from NetBackup 7.5?

Have you already tried using bpstart_notify script?

client process(bpbkar32.exe) will try to run bpstart_notify placed in appropriate folder. If you want to kick appcmd.exe before backup, write batch file which kicks appcmd.exe and place it as <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\bpstart_notify.<policy_name>.bat.

Thanks Yasuhisa, that's what I did and it worked great!

I created a backup policy and added all the webservers into and excuted the "bpstart_notify" on this policy to run the APPCMD.exe.

This backup policy was just used to run the APPCMD first then backup the following directory:     C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
