Summary:
To fully backup a WSS or MOSS installation two main components need to be backed up individually, the IIS Metabase and the WSS content and configuration data. Command-line tools to complete both backups are provided by Microsoft.
Process:
Copy the following script into a batch file and schedule using Windows Task Scheduler:
@ECHO OFF
rem Script to backup the IIS Metabase and WSS databases
SET IIS_BACKUP_NAME="IISMetaBackup"
SET WSS_BACKUP_DEST="D:\TOP\WSSBackups"
rem Delete previous backups
del %WSS_BACKUP_DEST%\*.* /S /F /Q
rmdir %WSS_BACKUP_DEST%\spbr0000 /S /Q
rem Backing up IIS Metabase
cscript C:\WINDOWS\System32\iisback.vbs /backup /b %IIS_BACKUP_NAME%
move /Y C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBack\%IIS_BACKUP_NAME%.* %WSS_BACKUP_DEST%
rem Backing up WSS Site collection
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\STSADM.EXE" -o backup -directory %WSS_BACKUP_DEST% -backupmethod full
