We currently have 2 environments, dev and production. Both have 3 Server 2008 R2 servers running SQL 2008 R2. In both, one is a publisher, the others subscribers of merge replication. I am wondering what the best way to refresh the data on the development servers is though. For instance, I would like to copy replicated tables from publisher to publisher, and then non replicated tables for all servers from prod to their dev equivalent.
Is there a recommended way to do so? I'd like to find a way and schedule it once a week or month so developers have relatively up to date data to work with.
