NMM SYSTEM COMPONENTS:\ restore
Hi everybody,
always while playing with my Sharepoint recover possibilities, I would like to test the restore of a web application.
In the manual I see that is necessary to "Recover C:\inetpub, IIS configuration writer, and IIS metabase writer".
The two writers are backed up under the "SYSTEM COMPONENTS:\" folder, but I cannot choose "IIS configuration writer" or/and "IIS metabase writer" without choosing SYSTEM COMPONENTS as a whole.
I see that all the writers to restore are "in gray colour", while "SYSTEM COMPONENTS:\" is selectable. Is possible to restore th IIS writers one by one or I am failing somewhere? Using command line ??????
Thanks in advance
PierPa

Hi PierPa,
You are right. You will not be able to select specific writers to recover or even using a command line, you have to restore the whole System Components.
But i would like to mention as well that this step is not required when the SharePoint databases are hosted on the SQL Server. and as mentioned in the manual as well you have to recover those writers and the C:\inetpub if the IIS settings were removed or deleted along with web application on all nodes of SharePoint farm.
Thanks,
Ahmed Bahaa

Ahmed,
I've a distributed farm. Therefore, to have all the farm in sync when I restore a web application, I have to restore C:\Inetpub and the 2 writers on the farm FrontEnd systems where I registered the wss writers and the databases on the SQL server, with the sharepoint configuration database on the SQL server. Do you agree?

Hi PierPa,
By default yes, you should restore IIS writer and IIS files (C:\inetpub) but as stated earlier, I would suggest you to engage SharePoint admin before moving forward, just to avoid anything going wrong, and to prevent any downtime in SP farm.
Also I would strongly recommend you to perform a full farm backup before the restore, so you can roll back if required.
Thank you.
Carlos.
