470 CHAPTER 18 Backing Up, Restoring, and Recovering an ISA Server 2006 Environment
The big advantage to this type of process is that a full system and OS backup is not
required to restore the configuration of an ISA server. Instead, a small, Extensible Markup

. Entire ISA configuration
. All networks or an individual network
