Move TFS 2012 Project Collection to TFS 2010

Question

Is it possible to move TFS 2012 Project Collection to TFS 2010 on different server?

When I tried to detach it from 2012 and attach to 2010 as this article says: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd936138%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

I encountered with the next error:

TF246091: The team project collection cannot be attached because its version ID is higher than the ID for the configuration database. The collection has the following version: Dev11.RTM. The Team Foundation Server is at the following version: TFS2010.RTM.KB2135068.P#3.

The error says it all: it is not possible. Every new release change the database schema and there is no way of "rolling it back" only forward.

There isn't any unsupported way that I know of (I doubt it's possible). – Dylan Smith Jul 01 '14 at 01:15

Take a look at Team Foundation Server Integration Tools (March 2012 Release): http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/eb77e739-c98c-4e36-9ead-fa115b27fefe

The TFS Integration Tools is a project developed by the Team Foundation Server (TFS) product group and the Visual Studio ALM Rangers to integrate Team Foundation Server with third party systems for migration and synchronization of data.
