Using Traditional Backup and Restore Tools with ISA Server 2006

If a simple yet effective schedule to automate ISA exports is set up, it becomes much easier
to recover an ISA server from an up-to-date copy of the configuration.
Restoring an ISA Server from the ISA Export Script
One of the advantages to a model such as this is that up-to-date backups of all the ISAspecific
settings on a server are exported on a daily (or more often) basis. If a server ???dies,???
restoring that server can involve simply importing the config file to another cold-standby
server that is installed with ISA Server 2006. In addition, the XML can be ported to any
other server that is installed with ISA Server 2006, so many different recovery scenarios
are possible.
For specific step-by-step instructions on how to use the XML file generated by this type of
script to restore the ISA config file, reference the previous section of this chapter titled,
???Importing Entire ISA Configs.???
Using Traditional Backup and Restore Tools with
ISA Server 2006
???Traditional??? backup utilities, such as Veritas Backup Exec, ArcServ, CommVault, or even
the built-in NTBackup utility, can be used to back up ISA Server 2006.
