Viewing the Server Configuration Details

You can view detailed configuration information for the content server that a backed-up Web site was located on at the time of the backup. This information includes the custom metadata fields, content types, security groups, configuration and environment settings, installed components, defined providers, and so on. This information is especially useful when you must restore a site and want to configure the content server so that it matches the server where the site originated.

To view the server configuration details of a backed-up site, perform these steps:

1. Log in to the content server as an administrator.

2. In the Administration section, select Site Studio Administration.

   The Site Studio Administration page is displayed (see Site Studio Administration). If you run Content Server in the Top Menus layout, you do not see this page. Instead, all administration options are then items in the Site Studio Administration menu.

3. Click Backup and Restore.

   The Backup and Restore page (see Backup and Restore Page) is displayed.

4. Click Manage Web Site Backups.

5. Click the actions menu icon (Figure) next to the desired site, and choose Show server configuration details.

6. The Server Configuration Details page is displayed (see Server Configuration Details Page), where you can note the details of the server where the site originated.

   
   

   Note: You may want to use Content Server's Configuration Migration Utility to replicate the content server environment from one server to another.
