Thanks for the responses guys. So far we have moved 8 of the smaller databases via simple backup and restore with no issues. However needed further guidance on the 3 VLDB's which are publishers in a replicated setup. Any advice on duplicating the replication will be appreciated. Best way to do this, gotchas etc. All 3 are publishers, 1 of them is using snapshot replication and the other 2 are using merge.

Thanks!
