Easy backup of TFS 2012 Express Edition possible?

Question

I use the TFS 2012 Express edition for personal use (I use mostly it to versionize my sources).

I had a brief look in the documentation concerning backup strategies and it seem to be a hell of work :(. Are there any shortcuts available when I am just interested that my versionized sources can be backuped and restored?

Answer 1

Backups made easy with the TFS Power Tools 2012 "Team Foundation Backup" feature.

It essentially creates a seamless process for backup/restore of the TFS databases.

Answer 2

Information provided in answer is based on TFS Standard Edition and not TFS 2012 Express. I have looked all over the internet and found just scripts that does it manually. I have installed the Power Tools Update 1 (Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 1 Power Tools.msi) and nothing has changed in the Console whatsoever.
