Hi,

I want to be able to backup my entire server and server configuration so in
case something crashes all I will need to do is restore the backup. How is
this done?

Right click in IIS Manager on the server name choosing all tasks >
backup/restore from there do your meta database file backup (give it
meaningfull name) and then copy this file to some save place (its locations
is %windir%system32/inetsrv/ ... meta data ... don't remember the exact
folder name its easy to find). After that xcopy entire wwwroot. To recover
just bring back those files and folders to their original places. It apply
to IIS 6.0
