Hello,

I have a sql server 2005 ent editon in one my server. Then I rent another dedicated server in another hosting company and want to do a peer-to-peer repliaction so that both can serve website visitor for load balancing.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152536.aspx#
I read the tutorials and start doing the replication by backuping the database and restore it to the new server. Since I do not want any downtime for my website so that I select the second options says the database has modified after the backup is created. When I click OK to create the Peer-to-Peer replication I received:

Building the Peer-To-Peer Topology...

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

------------------------------

Could not locate backup header information for database 'BBB' in the specified backup device.
The subscription could not be found.
Changed database context to 'NTest'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18782)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.1399&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=18782&LinkId=20476

Any idea?

Thanks,

Did you specify the backup file that you used to create the subscriber database? SQL Server will do a RESTORE HEADERONLY on the backup file to find the LSNs it needs to replicate over.

Holding it down on the engineering tip, y'all!
