Working With TFS Data Manager

Working With TFS Data Manager

In the post I talked about Disaster Recovery for VSTS 2008 and now I will show how to work with TFS Data Manager.

Every one can download the trial version and check for your self Download Page

After downloading (9.5mb) the install is very simple.

Choose the backup location, make sure you have al least 800mb , basiclly it’s like SQL backup.

Select your Team System database and proper User & Password

After the installation you can open TFS Data Manager, Perform Backup for TFS.

This operation takes 5min (800mb).

After you finish the backup you can see all TFS backups you have created.
