I am looking into getting some assurances from our web server admins that all sites and configurations are subject to routine backups, and all relevant files/configurations associated with the servers &amp;&nbsp;sites hosted on the server are included in the backup process, nothing has been overlooked etc. I appreciate it will be an 'it depends' type response and is quitea broad query, but as a broad outline, what are the various components of a website hosted on an IIS web server that need to be routinely backed up.

IIS web server/site backup scope

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
