BackUp / Restore problems

Hi All
We are currently using Team System Beta 3 in al lot of test projects. For that we have tested Disaster recovery.

In the administration help file the Backup procedure is stated as stopping services, backup sharepoint with its internal backup procedure and use SQL backup to backup all Team System databases and the start services again.

This all works fine.

But when we execute the restore scenario, we can not get Team system up and running with out errors.

It seems that not all data is the database. Documents in existing projects can no be accessed and projects created after the backup seems still to be registered somewhere, because we can not ceate a project with the same name.

Are we missing a file location, that also needs to be backup'ed ?

Regards

Christian

Hi Christian,

I'm sorry for the issues that you are facing with backup and restore. Unfortunately the documentation that shipped with B3 is out of date, and is being revised at this time. We should have a refresh with the correct information available in early November.

If this is not acceptable for you, I may be able to get an early draft next week.
Please let me know.

Hi Dan

If you have a early draft we would be happy to test it :-).
Currently we are using more and more functionality of team system in our production. And we are a bit anxious, while we still are not able to make a complete restore.

All source code are also alternatively backed up, but we need to ensure a safe restore of work items, documents and builds.

Regards

Is the documentation available now?
In Beta 3, can we only backup all the TFS databases or do we still have to backup the work items attachments and the SharePoint sites seperatly as described at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253070.aspx?
