This tool backs up the BizTalk ‘application’ servers (not databases). It makes copies or export settings so the BizTalk applications (front-end) servers can be rebuilt quickly. Included in this backup are config files, application MSIs, binding files, pipeline components etc. The BizTalk Backup application was designed to be a small command line utility with several parameters depending on what you want to back up. It utilize both WMI and the BizTalk ExplorerOM library to do its work.
