Hi, I'm a little bit confused about "Reinitialize" and "create a new Snapshot".
This is what I figured out:
When setting up a replication, I have to initialize the subscriber (sending all data from publisher).
This is done by a snapshot.
If I add an article to replication I add it in this WIZARD. When I request "Reinitialize subscription" after this the new data (not the existing one) is transfered via a new Snapshot. Therefore a "Reinitialize" in
my mind is allways a "new Snapshot"
Is this correct ?
- Is there a way just transfer the data only for a single able (via snapshot)?
- In which case a complete 'Reinitialize' is recomended? (For example if subscriber is completly out of sync, for example after an restore on subscriber or publisher side) - and how do I start this process
- There is a way to initialize subscibers without a snapshot via backup/restore - when does this make sense?
