One of our reporting database on SQL Server 2016 is replicated and we have added a few indexes on top of already existing indexes for a few replicated tables. Now the problem occurs when the replication breaks, regardless of the reason of the failure, and when it is reinitialized, we lose the indexes which we had created on the subscriber end.
We thought about implementing a solution where we back up subscriber-side indexes daily but I can't find figure out how to tell whether the index is from the distributor or the subscriber.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Thank you
