Merge replication reinitialization deleted all data

Hello,

When I reinitialized a subscription from SQL2005 db (publisher) to a SQL 2000 DB (Subscriber) and had the Upload changes before reinitialization turned on, the data from the SQL 2000 db didn't get uploaded. This resulted in a loss of 2 days worth of data.

Does anyone have any idea if there's anywhere that data is kept. (unfortunately a series of errors caused our backups to not be running on the 2000 db either).

Thank You

Bob

sorry, your data is gone. I also find it hard to believe your data didn't get uploaded - how did you indicate you wanted the data uploaded? Was this reinitialized from the UI?|||

Yes it was from the UI and the box marked "Upload data before reinitialization" was checked.

I could not reproduce the problem.

I tried push and pull SQL 200 subscriptions from a SQL 2005 publication/pulisher.

Could you give me more details on what kind of subscription you have and the SP of SQL you are running on both the servers?

Also can you continue to reproduce this? If so, some more details and some steps would be of help.
