My last couple of posts I wrote about failures that can happen in the Backup BizTalk Server job for two reasons:
- First, because I like to write about Errors, Warnings, Causes and Solutions, this is a good way to understand and have a good documentation of possible issues that can happen.
- Second to create a TechNet Wiki article to demonstrate the best practices that you can have when you thinking of taking a question posted in BizTalk Server forums: Backup BizTalk Server job failed and convert it to a TechNet Wiki article.
In result I created 6 TechNet Wiki articles that will demonstrate some of the best practices, that I gathered after many conversations along with Steef-Jan Wiggers and Tord Gard Nordahl (some of the “Guardians of the BizTalk TechNet Wiki Articles”), that you can have and that will help you start creating your own articles in the TechNet Wiki:

This template is intended to provide an initial path (model or pattern) for you to make the final article with a visual presentation of its structure and may be input fields of data or description of the section that you should use.
- Wiki: Questions and Solutions Template Format: If you are creating a new article about a solution to a question, you can copy the article structure that exists in this article and paste to your new article. This template is intended to provide an initial path (model or pattern) for you to make the final article with a visual presentation of its structure and may be input fields of data or description of the section that you should use.
- BizTalk Server: Backup BizTalk Server job failed Troubleshooting: This article has its origin in a question posted in BizTalk Server forums: Backup BizTalk Server job failed and will provide you with common problems, possible solutions, related solutions and how can you troubleshoot these problems. This article is also a demonstration of how you can apply some of the best practices that you should have when taking a BizTalk Server questions from the forums and created a new BizTalk Server Wiki Articles.

This article is also a demonstration of how you can apply some of the best practices that you should have when taking a BizTalk Server questions from the forums and created a new BizTalk Server Wiki Articles.
In the last couple of months, I have also finished many articles about BizTalk Server and Windows Azure BizTalk Services and this is the result!
List of contributions in English:
- BizTalk Server Best Practices: Create and Configure BizTalk Server Host and Host Instances: BizTalk Server provides great flexibility for addressing high availability, because you can strategically dedicate logical hosts to run specific areas of functionality such as receiving messages, sending messages or processing orchestrations. Although a single BizTalk Host can contain items that receive, send, and process messages, it is considered a best practice to create different hosts for each function to create security boundaries and for easier management and scalability. In particular, we recommend that you use different hosts for processing and receive/send operations and that you separate trusted and non-trusted items. This is a list of some of the best practices that you can implement.
