yup, go to http://isatools.org/ and have a look. http://isatools.org/ISAExportImport.zip will do the trick for you. The backup utility supplied with ISA is only good for the machine that has been backed up, won't work on any other, including a rebuild.

In the next couple of weeks I will be going to a remote location and test our Disaster Recovery procedures. One of the servers that I have to bring back into our environment is the ISA server. Currently I do full backups of the ISA server, but my only concern is doing what I call a "Bare Metal Restore" to ISA is that restoring the ISA server from tape to new hardware, it is probably going to have problems with the NIC Cards have a different hardware address. Can anyone tell me any other reliable ways to export the ISA server config other than the backup utility with the product?
