How do I take a backup of a site (and its settings) in IIS7 so that later if something goes wrong I can go back to my previous settings?
Updated:
I just want the settings, main website/sub- application, application pool etc. I can restore code from svn.

NOTE: The default location of the backup is the %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\MetaBack folder. If you want to save your backup file to another location, you can copy the file from this default location to another location. Keep a copy in the default location to allow for an easy restoration.
You can run AppCmd.exe to create a backup of your Web server before you have changed any configuration. Open a command prompt as administrator and change to the %windir%\system32\inetsrv\ directory. At the command prompt, type appcmd add backup "FirstBackup" and then press Enter.
You can do the following:
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe add backup "backup_name"
The above basically backs up %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config
You can also look into application config history: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/129/using-iis-70-configuration-history/
