Dear All,
I’m having three databases with same data in three different locations. Now three users adding records to the particular databases respectively. I want all the data from server A to be there at aerver B and C. all the updations at server B should be there at Server A and server C. as well as same updations at C also. It is not possible to implement replication as all the servers are at long distance. How can I update every database with the other server’s data? I’d like to update day wise. Is there any tool to generate script on that particular date period? Experts, I think you understood my scenario, please let me know the tools or list of best possibilities for me.

I’m thinking of Incremental backup. Guide me in this scenario.

Thanks in advance.

Use peer to peer replication if you use sql2k5.

actually those are not connected to each other to implement peer to peer replication

What do you mean? How can you sync them if there is no connection.

that is the problem now. is it not possible to do that manually? generating script only for the particular day transactions?
i've just found one tool SQL SCRIPTER. but that is giving for all the complete data. i need the data only day wise. guide me in this regard. it is an urgent issue

I'm thinking of creating a job to take incremental backup daily at the three places and restoring them in the rest of places. Dear Experts, please let me know about my idea of doing this as this is an important task for me.

If you do backup/restore, it'll override target db. So it's not kind of merge you want.
