Hi-
We have no problems replicating the snapshot data now to the subscriber - row counts are exact - distrib/publish(source) and subscriber(destination) appear to be the same in all tables.
However - being a beginner and still learning replication...we've recreated the distrib/publisher DB's and subscribers multiple times taking up much time as we are not sure what options we have to speed up the process.
We knwo we could backup a copy of our distrib/Publisher DB and then restore to the subscriber server and start replicating...but, would we be able to replicate (table, etc.) only changes from that full bkp copy without any issue/errors?
We have not used validation yet but appreciate any advice.
Thx for any help.
