The problem started occurring after we started restoring backups from our production instance into our test/dev TFS environment.

Solution

After attaching/restoring a new collection you must reconfigure your TFS scheduled backups.

Reason for error

When you configure your scheduled backups the application creates the stored procedure ‘prc_TfsSetTransactionLogMark’ in all the databases that would be backed up. Because we detached our collection on one server and then reattached it on another (that was originally configured to backup) and didn’t reconfigure the backups, the scheduled would assume that the collection database has this procedure and tries to execute using it.
