I am researching one-click deployment with Visual Studio 2010, the current deployment process involves zipping up the contents of the IIS folder and taking a backup of the current database before completing the remaining manual deployment steps. This allows us to roll back a deployment, I need to retain the essence of this process if not the specifics.
Is there a way of automating this with MSDeploy?
Finally I found the answer, thank you to kniemczak for posting the information about how to backup IIS and SQL Server from the command line.
It seems the following:
msdeploy.exe
-verb:sync -source:runCommand='C:\Scripts\Backup.cmd'
-dest:auto,computername=192.168.0.1
Should cover my needs.
