Can you tell me what the solution is? You don't amnually backup the metabase
when you runISS Lockdown, it runs by itself.

Hi
The default location of the backup is the
%SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\MetaBack folder. If you want to save your
backup 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 Windows 2000.
Note: First, you cannot restore the metabase backup to another installation
of Windows 2000. Although this would be convenient, this feature won't allow
you to clone one IIS configuration to another server in your Web farm. More
importantly, if you lose your entire server and end up reinstalling the
operating system, you'll be unable to recover your IIS configuration from
this backup. In other words, this backup isn't appropriate for disaster
recovery use. The metabase backup and restoration functionality is best used
for versioning purposes and to recover from the administrative mistakes that
continue to plague Webmasters whether the mistakes are attempted
optimizations that have the opposite affect or simple point-and-click
errors.
Warm regards
Gopinath
