Backup - restore user accounts, dns, webdata,...
Hi guys. I'm almoust a newbie at hostingcontroller but I'm learning fast.
I'am setting up web server (windows 2003) and will install HS7 and mailEnable (nod32 and spamassassin) and bind9.
I managed backing up:
1. windows users (I have a plain file with all windows users and passwords and i wrote program that uses net.exe to recreate all the users on a new system)
2. mailEnable (no problem - to backup just copy all the folders and files under MailEnable from install directory and save all the data from windows registry)
3. DNS bind9 (also no problem - just copy all the files from /named/etc/* and /named/zones/*)
4. www data (no problem - copy all the folders and files form www root folder)
Now I'm seeking for a solution to backup HC users, settings, database,... Is it possible just to backup folder and files of HC and then copy them back on a new system? Is there another way to manualy backup-restore? Is there a registry setting that needs backing up? Hsa anyone even tried it? There is also a question of backing up IIS data and windows ftp settings? Any good freeware stuff? Any sudgestions?
Tanks for all the answers...
Aris
