TFS move to a more powerful machine

  • 772

We need to move TFS (basic source control only configuration) to a brand new - more powerful - machine. I found several articles on the subject but I cannot figure out what's the best approach for my scenario. Currently I have only installed Windows Server 2008 R2 as in the original machine.

Here are the options so far:

1) Move Team Foundation Server from One Hardware Configuration to Another

2) Move a Team Project Collection

3) TFS 2010 Power Tools Backup and Restore

What I like most is 3) but I was discouraged from this: TFS Power Tools backup plan is not used to backup one TFS DBs and restore them to another TFS DBs

What is the most straightforward way to accomplish my task and put the new machine at work?

Thanks.

  1. I would go for option 1. Your scenario is exactly where this article is written for.

    Option 2 is used when you want to move a Team Project Collection from one TFS instance to another instance.

    Option 3 is for Disaster Recovery.
