You can move snapshots but to do so you must
export them and to export them you must export the entire hyper-V image.
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
Chuck
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.
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)

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 this (the snapshot isn’t hardware agnostic so we’d
have to rely on same hardware – next version of our back up software, for the
virtual 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 care 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 == $$$)?
