title: How to make a IIS Site/Content Backup?
body: <p>i want to learn ASP.NET, for this, i read some basic tutorials for managing the IIS Web-Server. Im Wondering how i could make a full backup of my site (Configuration and Content). Im running the IIS Server on a Hyper-V Windows Server 2012R2 Core and administrating over Powershell Remote.</p>
  
  <p>In the Intenet, ifound an article about some basic stuff (<a href="http://windowsitpro.com/article/windows-powershell/microsoft-internet-information-services-iis-powershell-144224" rel="nofollow">see here</a>)</p>
  
  <p>This Article said, i can make a full backup of my IIS Configuration and Content over </p>
  
  <pre><code>Backup-WebConfiguration -Name "My Backup"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And Restore it over</p>
  
  <pre><code>Restore-WebConfiguration -Name "My Backup"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Problem is: It seems it really only makes backup from the Configuration and not from the Content. For Example: It Restores the Websites from IIS:\Sites but not the physical stuff like an Application Folder in it and a default.htm. If i delete the default .htm and the folders, use the Restore-WebConfiguration, it still does not restore it - only the WebConfiguration itself. </p>
  
  <p>From the Articel i guessed, it would be restore also the content ....
  Did i make something wrong? How can i do what i want "from scratch" without Scripts from MS Web Deploy 3.0 ?</p>
  
  <p>thanks for help and best regards,</p>
