I have set replication in my database X. I have both publisher and distributor existing in the same server where my database X exists.
Am also creating subscriptions to databases in various other servers from here itself.(i.e push subscription)

If i restore database X, will my replication settings be affected ?
Do i have to create publications all over again, after restore.

afaik, no, unless the publications and subscriptions at that time were different

Was your backup taken while replication was all set up ? If your backup was prior to replication being setup, then I'm pretty sure it will get screwed up. Doesn't take much to cause problems in replication.

It might be a good idea to script out publications & subscriptions just in case.

Yes the backup is from an earlier date, prior to setting replication. So i guess, a restore would mess up the replication settings.

Anyways, thanks so much for the info !
