The TFS team continues making my life easier. As every TFS administrator probably knows, backing up and restoring a TFS server can be daunting. There are potentially a lot of services and a lot of steps. Microsoft listed all the steps required to create a good backup and restore plan(read more about it here), but it involves a lot of work and there are some easily forgotten steps(especially around guaranteeing consistency).
So I was really happy when Brian Harry announced their latest power tool to simplify exactly this backup and restore procedure. Read everything about this upcoming tool on his blog.
