Restoring the replication environment

Is it possible to restoring the master db ? This is to
restore the merge agents settings, without creating the
merge agents again? If any one got an answer for this
please reply asap.
Binoy,
replication agents and the master database are two separate issues. In
master there is sysservers and sysxlogins, both of which are relevant to the
replication setup. However, you are concerned about the merge agent jobs and
parameters which are in msdb (sysjobs, MSagent_profiles, MSagent_parameters
etc). For a good set of details on the replication backup strategy, you can
have a look in BOL for 'replication, backup and restore
operations,Strategies for Backing Up and Restoring Merge Replication'.
