Prepare to restart operations
The following must be prepared in order to restart SQL Server replication operations:
The server that performs these operations will depend on the subscription format, as follows:
Push subscription: Publisher/distributor server
Pull subscription: Subscriber server
1. Start the log reader agent.
2. Start the agent associated with subscription.
Synchronous subscription is started.
3. Perform subscription re-initialization or deletion and re-creation.
Setting and checking the 'sync with backup' option
When the SQL Server replication function is used, the 'sync with backup' option must be set for
the publication database and the distribution database.
When backup is performed on the publication database transaction logs with the 'sync with
backup' option set, the backup is forwarded to the distribution database. Also, no publication
database logs will be dropped until all transactions are forwarded to the distribution database.
