The replication snapshot is saved in a folder \\repldata\unc\
I have option to specify the location but Where do I specify the name of Snapshot.
If this name becomestoo long (about 64 characters), Microsoft mangles the name by trimming
it down to about 55 characters and appends a short hex string.
I would like to use tar and gzip to compress the snapshot and my compress program is unable to detect the original snapshot as the Original name is generated on the fly (with random hex string)
For example my snapshot name is(generated by microsoft appending servername+databasename+Publicationname)
Develop_Material_Items_Prod_Material_Items_Prod_X46eb1b14
My tar program is trying to find the following file
Develop_Material_Items_Prod_Material_Items_Prod_TRANS_RATES
Is there a way I can specify the name of snapshot created in first place?
