| Out of curiosity:Can you run 'BACKUP LOG myDatabase WITH NO_LOG' on a database that is setup for merge/transactional replication without losing any transactions that still need to be replicated? I want to say yes.Got SQL? |

| Don't say "yes". It may not totally FUBAR the replication, but you'll at least have to do a new snapshot after you truncate the log. I'm not a replication guru though, but if you truncate the log it will definitely interfere with replication. |
