how to backup a project on tfs 2010

Question

我在备份tfs 201时遇到问题。我们可以在TFS 2010上备份单个项目吗？有人在tfs 10之前知道单个项目吗？

Answer 1

Backing up a single project was never a supported option with TFS. There are too many dependencies in the database.

Of course you can backup the whole project collection (which you hopefully do already regularly). If you want to look at an older state of the project, you will have to restore the whole collection backup to another instance of TFS. You can use the same database server, you just need an additional, independent application tier (with its own, new TFS configuration database).

If you want to restore bits of an older project state into the current instance, do the restore as mentioned above, then transfer what you need. Source code through the file system, WorkItems can often be transferred quite nicely with the "Open Query in Excel" feature, though you don't get access to all WI-columns that way (links don't work, for example).
