The URL 'http://localhost:port#/' for Web project 'xxx' is configured to use IIS as the web server but the URL is currently configured on the IIS Express web server.

Check the .NET version of Application pool in IIS. If application pool is running on .NET version 2 and the web.Config file specify .Net version 4, you get this error.
Note this may not be the only cause for your error. But check this.

    <Web URLPath = "http://localhost/Folder/fred.csproj" />

Folder is the application name of the  in the IIS manager website properties

ex. xyzService is the application name

VB.net

<VisualStudioUNCWeb>

    <Web URLPath = "http://localhost/xyzService/xyzServices.vbproj" />

</VisualStudioUNCWeb>

To fix this error all you need to do is add a webinfo file.  If your using VSS for source control, it's probably a good idea to add the webinfo file to SourceSafe as well as this is not done for you automatically.

If you have a project file c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Folder\fred.csproj then you need a corresponding webinfo file fred.csproj.webinfo.  The contents of the webinfo file looks like this:

<VisualStudioUNCWeb>

    <Web URLPath = "http://localhost/Folder/fred.csproj" />

</VisualStudioUNCWeb>

When you go to add this web project to your solution file you actually don't specify “Add Existing Project From Web”, but simply “Add Existing Project”, then browse to c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Folder\fred.csproj

ERROR: Failed to backup website http://localhost

ERROR: Failed to backup website http://localhost/....

just delete that project from solution and added it back from the correct file folder.
