Prepare to restart operations

The server that performs these operations will depend on the subscription format, as follows:

Push subscription: Publisher/distributor server

Pull subscription: Subscriber server

1.

Start the log reader agent.

2.

Start the agent associated with subscription.

Synchronous subscription is started.

3.

Perform subscription re-initialization or deletion and re-creation.

Setting and checking the 'sync with backup' option

When the SQL Server replication function is used, the '

sync with backup

' option must be set for

the publication database and the distribution database.

When backup is performed on the publication database transaction logs with the '

sync with

backup

' option set, the backup is forwarded to the distribution database. Also, no publication

database logs will be dropped until all transactions are forwarded to the distribution database.
