• Vadmyst TFS Backup and cross-database issues

  Quick question here: Seeing as how TFS uses several databases (a boatload of them, actually :)), I was wondering if it is safe to backup them all just using SQL Server mantainance plans. In particular, I would like to know if there is a risk that during a backup operation, (a window which will be incrementally larger as the tfs databases grow) you might end with inconsistent data across the TFS databases due to operations being performed on th ...Show All

• sjallipalli7409 Reports on Project Portal fail if Title of Team Project Portal is different from Team Project Name.

  It seems that the tfsredirect.aspx page uses the portal title to request the reports rather than using the project name. For instance when I was setting up a new team project, I gave the name 'TestProject1' on the first page of the wizard, selected 'MS Agile' on the process screen and on the third screen gave the title for the portal as 'Test Project1' (notice the space). When I bring up the Portal site, all the reports fail. The error displayed ...Show All
