Thanks !
Found them there.

Is there a way to check the actual T-SQL for the steps, both backup and delete?

Hi ulfelf,

I don’t have a TFS server nearby with the Backup Powertool configured to look closely for you. If my memory serves me, the Backup Powertool adds two scheduled tasks to the Windows Scheduler to do the backup and cleanup old backups. Have a look at these scheduled tasks and that should point you in the right direction.

Cheers
Anthony

Hope you still is answering here….

First, thanks for a great article!

Second: Where are these jobs stored?
I can’t find them in the SQL server, itself, so are they stored somehow, somewhare in Tfs_Configuration database?

Hi Paulo,

The powertool has been designed to only accept a UNC path, not a local directory. I have not tried creating a shared folder on the local machine and trying to specify that in the backup powertool. That said, you really want to make sure your backups are NOT on the actual TFS server. If the TFS VM becomes corrupted, you would be able to get to your backups if they are stored on the same VM.

Cheers

Anthony
