Backup and Restore

Running SQL Server 2K. I use transactional Replication.
It is sometimes necessary to take precautionary backups during
business hours for various reasons. However, I have noted
that backups made while replication is running can not be made
without causing an error during Restore. Is there a
workaround for this, or does Replication need to be diabled
prior to
backup?
Thanks,
Tom
Tom,
if you mean the error from the Log Reader Agent because it detects that the
Distributor is ahead of the Publisher, you can run sp_replrestart in the
publication database with no parameters. This forces replication to continue
even if the Distributor and some Subscribers may now have data that the
Publisher no longer has. If not, please can you post up the error message.
HTH,
Paul Ibison
