OK, I have fugured out how to backup/restore/import data sources thanks to the help of forum members and I do appreciate it. Now, I would like to know if there is anywat to backup your overall CFMX 7 configuration settings... I am sure that these are kept in a file or files somewhere, I would like to know which ones... The purpose behind this is to be able to restore my CFMX7 server without having to reconfigure it all the time... Thanks in advance.

    I now that there are more files than just the neo* files needed to restore COldFusion. In my case there is the web.xml file located in the CfusionMX7\wwroot\WEB-INF folder that control certain script mappings, at least those that aren't default... I'm sorry that I don't have the exact answer, but I think that what you are asking is possible...

    Let me rephrase my question...

    If I wanted to manually backup ALL files that are included in a CAR file with all settings selected, what files and directories would I need to backup?

    Any input is highly appreciated! Thank you!

    Are the neo* files the only configuration specific files needed?
    I currently have an automated backup job created to backup neo* files weekly, but will this suffice in restoring most of the application specific settings in the event that I needed to do a complete ColdFusion reinstall ?

    Thanks...

    Look in the C:\CFusionMX7\lib ( by default ) for files that start with neo- and copy them off. These hold settings for datasources. mappings, sandbox, cfx tags ect.
