I have Transactional Replication with no subscriber update and pull subscriptions.
My question involves database restores. I understand that performing a restore with Transactional Replication, I can ignore the option “Preserve the replication settings (WITH KEEP REPLICATION)” since that deals with Log Shipping only. I am questioning this since I ran a restore from a production non-replicated database backup file to my replicated test database. It wiped out my replication and I had to rebuild it.
My question is when I restore from a non-replicated database to a replicated database should I specify this option to protect my definitions?
How about if I restore from a replicated database backup file to a replicated database? Is it only for Log Replication?
Thx.
