To remove the site entirely, check all the options. The options are discussed in detail below.<br />

Delete the entire \sites\ directory structure from disk<br />

This option will remove all the configuration files, templates and user folders for the site. The files will be<br />

permanently removed; they are not moved to the Recycle Bin.<br />

Delete the virtual directory from IIS<br />

This option will remove the /fotoweb virtual directory from IIS. You will be asked from which site you<br />

want to remove the folder, and you must make sure that you delete the folder from the correct site.<br />

Drop the database used by the site<br />

This option will instruct FotoWeb to drop the database. If the database server is on the same machine as<br />

FotoWeb, FotoWeb will make sure that the database files are deleted from disk. If the SQL server is on<br />

another machine you may have to delete the database files manually.<br />

You must manually remove the site from IIS after deleting it from FotoWeb by right-clicking the web site<br />

in IIS Manager and select Delete. You must manually delete the root folder from disk if it is not in use<br />

any more.<br />

You should stop all FotoWeb services before deleting a site and start them after the deletion process is<br />

completed.<br />

Note! There is no ‘Undo’ available for deleting a site. Making a backup of the site before deleting it may<br />

be a good idea.<br />

Backing up your system<br />

You should regularly back up your FotoWeb system to make sure that the configuration can be easily<br />

restored in the case of hardware failure. Backup of Index Manager indexes and your documents are not<br />

covered by this document and must be handled separately.<br />

All configuration data used by FotoWeb is stored in the /fotoweb application directory and its<br />

subdirectories, with the exception of the sites’ databases which needs to be backed up separately.<br />

<strong>Manual</strong> backups<br />

You can easily create manual backups through the FotoWeb Administration Console. Right-click the<br />

Server node, select ‘All Tasks | Backup System’. This will open the FotoWeb System Backup Wizard<br />

which will aid you in making a ZIP file with all the configuration data from your FotoWeb server.<br />
