    Hi Arpen

    With AX 7( aka Dynamics 365 for Operations ) we have only 1 Database with the Data (Transactions, Master data etc.)

    About the DEV Envs, you are able to Backup & Restore yourself  through Sql Server Management Studio

    About the Prod Env, you have to raise a Ticket to Microsoft.

    About the Code, this one is store in the File System and mostly are XML Files. So you can backup entire Directory or I guess is enough to take the backup of TFS Database.

    Take a look also at axbytes.blogspot.it/.../ax7-application-code-store-modelstore.html

    Hi Arpan

    No. The application code is stored in the File System as described above.

    However, the Database name is AxDB

    Hi Denis,

    Application : Here File system means XML Files (Model elements) right?

    Is there any particular path to store?

    Please confirm.

    Thanks!

    Hi Arpan

    Go through the blog link above.

    The application code is saved in file system in a directory and is called PackageDirectory. The location of directory (along with other settings) is saved in a web.config file.
