Migrate to another server
Hi folks
I would like to migrate my TFS to another server (which I guess is a common thing to want to do). I have tried rebuilding a server with the exact same name and copying the TFS and STS databases over but that didn't work. I am really only interested in getting the version control over, but if I could do a complete migration that would be cool.
Any advice on how I can do this?
Thanks
Will
Hi Martin
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the instructions don't work (which is of no surprise)!
Things didn't happen as they were listed in the document and eventually I was left with a non working system. So, back to the drawing board!!
Thanks

Hi Will,
You said that the instructions for restoring data to a different server didn't work for you. Could you provide some more details? If there are incorrect or misleading steps in the documentation, we'd love to fix them.
Also, have you seen the topics on moving your Team Foundation Server deployment? They can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404879(VS.80).aspx. While I doubt they'll help now (it sounds like you're reinstalling your system), they might help later on.

Hi. Sorry for the delay in replying - been too busy to check the forum!
Basically, all the documentation I found on the internet with regards to migrating to a different server left me with a non working system at the end. I did eventually work out how to do it and I have documented this in a word doc. If you are interested please email me and I will send you the document.
Thanks

Thanks for the link. I had spent many hours going through all the information in these pages, but everything left me with a non working system at the end.
