MS Sql Restore DB from backup failed (replication)

Question

I have a standalone copy of a production db on my PC that I use for future development of the web frontend. Every now and then I restore the copy db from an up to date backup of the production db. This worked. Unfortunately since the last restore the production has had replication configured and now when I try and do a restore I get the following error:

TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Restore failed for Server 'MyPCName'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended)

---

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: Invalid object name 'MSreplication_subscriptions'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)

I have tried various options but without any joy.

Any help appreciated

Note: Just in case it matters... the production sits on a SQL2005 server whereas my PC has SQL2008 R2 but this has not caused issues before.

Answer 1

OK fixed it. I dropped the database completely and then let the restore create a new db. It still gave me the replication error but the db was created albeit in Single User Mode. Changed to Multi User and everything was OK.
