Milo,
My favorite TX website!
Backup the metabase from the MMC, [click on the
website], Action | Backup/Restore Config.
I have been successful at restoring from the metabase
on the same box but NOT on moving from one box to
another. And you should know, the metabase corrupts
very easily.
To be safe, I just manually keep track of my virtual
directories in my own database and prepare to restore
the hard way.
Here are some MS KB links, in case you want to try:
Preserving settings during an uninstall/reinstall of
IIS:

The METAEdit utility (note, editing the Metabase is as
risky as editing the registry)

Manually restore backup
