FYI to close on this - Backup/Restore via the metabase are no longer supported
on IIS7 (even with IIS6 compat installed).
http://www.iis.net/articles/onepagearticle.ashx/Use-IIS7-Administration-Tools/Using-XML-Configuration/Metabase-Compatibility-with-IIS7
"Features like history files, backup/restore and import/export work differently
because they rely on the new configuration system. ABO calls to backup
configuration will therefore be ignored."

No idea. Haven't had an IIS7 machine to play with.

Subject: [WiX-users] RollbackMetabaseTransaction support on IIS7?
We are experiencing a problem where IIS web configuration actions (creating app
pools, sites, virtual directories, etc) are not being rolled back on a
failed/aborted install when targeting IIS7. The install does rollback as
expected on II6.
We are using Wix 3.0.2720.0 and do have IIS6 compat mode installed on the IIS7
server.

Thanks.
Robert.
