Author Moving FTP Server

I need to move my FTP Server (IIS 5.0 running on
Win2000/SP4) to another machine.
I want to preserve the FTP Sites and Virtual directories
with all their attributes, local user accounts, and NTFS
file permissions on folders to which FTP Virtual
directories point.

I tried to backup metabase using the Backup / Restore
Configuration command in IIS, but got: "This machine does
not support backup / restore" eroor message.

Any suggestions?

Might try a Windows Admin group, they're Windows accounts.
