All Forums  SQL Server 2005 Forums  Replication (2005)  how to move the initial snapshot ?

Author  Topic  PMenage Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2010-06-03 : 07:21:13 I have two sql servers that need to be replicated under Merge replication. The publisher is SQL 2005 and the subscriber is SQL 2000. Replication is to be made through a dial-up line. As the line drops during the inital push of the snapshot to the subscriber, I would like to know if there is a way to put the snapshop on a laptop and load it into the subscriber or any other way to by pass the dial-up line for initial loading of the sanpshot by the subscriber. If yes, how to do that. Thank you Patrick
