Steps in In Visual Studio 2010
- Open Team Explorer
- Go to Builds
- Right-click on a build definition, and click Clone.
How can I copy/clone a build in Visual Studio 2012? The Clone operation seems to be gone?
Note: I am using TFS 2010

Don't have the reputation to comment, but thought this might help someone... Use the VS2015 version (referenced in the accepted answer) to connect VS 2015 to TFS 2013 (12.0). It just worked for me.

Do you have the TFS power tools installed? If yes, that explains why it would work. If no, that's a pleasant surprise :)

Cloning build definition is a feature that comes with TFS Power Tools.
I haven't tried it but it seems to be part of the beta version for 2012 available here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b1ef7eb2-e084-4cb8-9bc7-06c3bad9148f
