How To: Create TFS 2010 Backup Plan

In my last post I wrote about Sept 2010 TFS Power Tools Release Available, this post will go though the steps in order to create TFS 2010 Backup plan from the “Team Foundation Server Administration Console”.

Open “Team Foundation Server Administration Console”

Navigate to TFS 2010 installation folder (“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Tools”) and run “TfsMgmt.exe”, this will open the Mgmt Console.

Click on “Team Foundation Backups” and “Create Backup Plan”

Choose the backup Network drop location and the retention (how long this backup is valid?).

Define when you would like to perform a backup

After you finished the Backup Plan wizard you can try it by clicking on the “Take Full Backup Now” button:

Enjoy

When I create a nightly full backup schedule for tfs2010 with the new power tools, all goes well. When I however try to create a schedule using a nightly full backup and a transaction backup every 15 minutes (or every hour it makes no difference) I get an error at the end of the configuration: Value does not fall within the expected range.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Part of the log is:

Today I came to a customer for consulting and the customer told me that there is no Backups for TFS.
