Download DB backup generated by IIS 7

Discussion in 'Windows / IIS' started by liveandesor, Aug 23, 2011.

  1. Hi!

    I made a backup of my database with IIS7. However, I can't reach the backup file generated by it. This is important to me since I want to download it to my PC.

    Is there any way I can do this?
    Thanks for the help!

    you should be able to get it with FTP. it should be in your appData directory
     
  3. I'm gonna try using FTP and tell you how it goes.

    Thanks for the help! :)
     
  4. OK, I've been trying to use Filezilla to connect to the FTP address.

    However, when I try to use the primary FTP address it just says "ERRORCON - Connection refused by server".
    I use the secondary FTP address and makes a succesful connection. However, everytime I use the password it just says

    530 User cannot log in.

    I modified my control panel password, yet I still get the same mistake.
    Any ideas on how I might fix this situation?

    Thanks for the help!

    The FTP username on Windows 2008/IIS7 requires a specific format (number, the pipe character and your user name). You can find this information in the Account Info/Edit section of your Control Panel.

    Your database should be in the _database folder.
     
  6. I'll check it again and see what comes up.

    Thanks for the answer! :)
     
  7. Ok, it worked. I didn't realize the whole sequence was the username. I thought they were two different usernames.

    Thank you bruce and Tasslehoff for the big help, and I'm sorry for the stupid mistake :p

    Not a stupid mistake by any means. The "pipe" hangs up a lot of people, but it was a necessary evil to introduce it when FTP was basically rebuilt in the Windows 2008/IIS 7 release. So we've been stuck with it since then.
