Hi all
I need to install a merge replication on 2 diferent stores with Sql 2012 server, that are connected via 2 mb vpn and the database is about 4gb. due to the fact we have 2mb for the initial sync and the database is big, What is the recommended way to do that without using the snapshop agent step? Can I take a backup of the db and restore it in the second server and setup the merge replication ? If so, where I tell the wizards that the databases are already there and do not use the snapshop agent and just start to replicate ?
Thanks in advance.
James
