## IIsComputer

You can use the IIsComputer object to set values of global metabase properties that determine how IIS operates. The IIsComputer object also provides methods to manage metabase backups. You can use these methods to store multiple backup versions in long-term storage, restore the metabase from a backup version of your choice, and enumerate and delete backups.

The IIsComputer object is an ADSI container object.
