This article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.10.disasterr.aspx
suggest you can restore them piecemeal- but I don’t know how to do
this….
This begs the hack of exporting a hyper-V image and replacing its
last snapshot with a more recent snapshot.
This also begs the larger question:
What do you do in the situation where you have the VHD + Snapshots
from a running server but the Host is OS is gone?
…I don’t know

With Hyper-V it is basically free. Grab Hyper-V core then use your
existing license. I believe snapshots on Hyper-V can be moved.

Subject: Backing up TFS instance
Hey Guys,
We just had a bit of scare this week, which saw our data centre (at
my client) shut down due to a massive failure in the aircon.
All servers (well, production level ones) has been migrated to
another site/location but dev boxes and environments will be left
(for the time being) in the old data centre.
This has naturally brought some concern to us as we don’t just rely
on the database to be backeup but also the instances of the our TFS
environment.
We run a multi-server setup for our TFS and we did have the
following set up:
1) virtual image snapshot of all servers done (not incrementally
done, but one off)
2) databases backed up
Naturally I would like to find a way to back up/restore the TFS
server as well. We do have, as mentioned, a virtual image snapshot
of the server but would like to know if there’s a better way to do t
his (the snapshot isn’t hardware agnostic so we’d have to rely on
same hardware – next version of our back up software, for the virtua
l snapshots will be hardware agnostic).
Preferably it’d be nice it we could somehow back up TFS’s
configuration files (so the configuration aspect is at least taken c
are of) – the install of TFS itself isn’t a concern at this point.
Any great ideas on how to back up our whole TFS environment as well
for a rapid recovery (time == $$$)?
