IISComputer2::RestoreWithPassword

The RestoreWithPassword method restores the metabase from a backup that was created with BackupWithPassword. If the backup was encrypted with a password, use the same password in this method. The restore operation stops all services dependent on the IIS Admin service (including all servers) until the restore has completed; then it restarts all services.

HRESULT RestoreWithPassword(
  BSTR  bstrLocation,
  LONG  lVersion,
  LONG  lFlags,
  BSTR  bstrPassword
);

Parameters

• bstrLocation
  [in] String containing the ___location. If an empty string is specified, the default backup ___location will be used.

• lVersion
  [in] Long integer containing the version number to be assigned to the backup. Must be less than or equal to MD_BACKUP_MAX_VERSION (9999). Can be set to MD_BACKUP_NEXT_VERSION (0xffffffff) which automatically selects the next available version number. These constants are defined in the Mddefw.h header file.

• lFlags
  [in] Reserved. Must be zero.

• bstrPassword
  [in] Optional string that will be used to unencrypt the backup. This password must be the same as the one used when the IISComputer2::BackupWithPassword method was invoked.
