Hi,
How TFS can be used for Joint Application Development
Can we use two Team Foundation Servers and synchronize with each other
Is there any method to take back up for a single team project in TFS
Thanks,
Renil

Long answer:
You can use the TFS Version Control Proxy server to speed up remote site access times when connecting to your main TFS repository - however you need reliable connectivity as the off-line story is not particular good.
In theory, you could write some code that subscribed to event notifications from two servers and tried to keep the two in sync. However this would be very complicated and error prone. I'd expect third parties to be active in this area, it may well makes it into the feature set in a future version of TFS but I have never seen an announcement saying that.
The only backup solution is to take a back-up of all the server data - you cannot split it by project. Single project back-up / migration has been requested by a lot of people though so I expect that it is on the wish list for future versions.

Excellent summary as usual, Martin :)
"Keep two servers in sync" and "Backup/restore team projects independently" are both on the wish list, no doubt about it. I'd urge anyone who wants the former to look at the proxy and let us know specific reasons why they need to keep two TFS servers in sync instead of just using a single one with proxies. I'm sure there are scenarios, but nailing down what those are, and what their specific needs are, will go a long way to helping drive it moving from 'wish list' to 'approved feature'. :)
And of course, the offline story itself is also on the wish list for improvement.
