Nant backup and restore

** This is highly Beta **

This Project is just a nant build that you can use to archive instances of Umbraco to a zip file and then restore them to a new instance. (An instance consists of an IIS site, and a database)

If you find errors please report/fix them so we can improve this for everyone.

This has been tested on:

• Windows 7 ultimate
• IIS 7.5
• SQL Server 2008 R2

It won't work with non IIS/SQL setup.

Requirements to run:

• Nant - Tested with 0.9.0
• NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll

Before running confiure the following in your build script:

• web.root - a folder where you keep you IIS sites
• windows.path - c:\windows etc
• sql.data.dir - path to put SQL server data and log files.
• contrib.assembly - path to NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.dll
• ole.db - OLEDB provider connection to your database

To backup:

• nant backup -D:umb.src=d:\www\4.7 -D:zip.file=umb4.7.clean.zip

To Restore

• nant restore -D:zip.file=umb4.7.clean.zip -D:target.name=targetsite

Backup performs the following operations:

• Stop IIS
• Copy files to temp folder
• Backup database to temp foler
• Zip files including www root and db backup
• start iis

Restore performs the following operations:

• Stop IIS
• Create folder for new website - $(web.root}/${target.name}
• Create new IIS site with .net 4 App Pool - both named ${target.name}
• Crate new database and login - dbname, login, password all equal ${target.name}
• Add a host entry ${target.name}.local
• Update connection string in new site web.config
• Start IIS
