title: How do I connect Teamcity to an existing SQLServer 2005 database
body: <p>We had a machine that run teamcity 4.0.2 and that used SqlServer 2005 as datastore. The machine crashed, but we still have the database. How can I get a newly created instance of teamcity connected to the database?</p>
  
  <p>I found infos about migrating an existing teamcity installation over to a new database. But thats not what I want.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  I thought that the database contains the configuration for the projects. Thats not the case: Its in the folder Configuration of the Teamcity data directory (.BuildServer)</p>
  
  <p>I only had to copy the contents of that folder over to my new installation. I guess my question was wrong. Anyway I leave it as it is, because there might be others who have the same idea.</p>
