| Hi all,I'm setting up transactional replication from one server to another.Everything in the database is being replicated - tables, SPs, etcIn total, the database is 100GB in size.Due to the size of the data, it is taking a very long time to apply the snapshot to the subscriber database.Is there anyway around having to take a snapshot? Could I restore the publishing database on the subscriber database and then start transactional replication?Or do I have to take a snapshot for this to work? |

| 100 GB isn't that big. Seems you have network or configuration issues. But...see link below.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151705.aspx |

Replication- do you always have to apply snapshot?
