Note: Remember the password to be used during restore.
6) Click on OK and you are done
7) While restoring the backup just select the Backup Name you want to restore and click on Restore option
8) The same way if you want to delete any existing backup, use Delete option
The second method to take IIS 6 backup is by using the command Line

2) Run the command as you see in the below example
Example command : Cscript.exe iisback.vbs /s /u Administrator /p /backup /b NewBackupName

Second Method Using command
To backup IIS configuration:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe add backup "Backup-Name"
To restore that backup:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe restore backup "Backup-Name"
To delete a backup:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe delete backup “Backup-Name"
Once the backup command is successful, the files can be verified in the default location C:\windows\system32\intersrv\backup\Backup-Name
