Replication Manual

When receiving the following error message at this step:

“A replication destination with the same name (DESTINATION) already exists.”

This is probably due to a previous installation of the Replication Server on this machine. When

uninstalling the software, the application is removed, but it is not automatically removed from

the database.

Perform the following steps to correct this:

1. In the Management Console, at Replication Settings, make sure that no task is configured

to use this as destination, even the inactive tasks.

2. Open the BackupAgent database using SQL Management studio

3. Open table ‘dbo.ReplicationDestinations’

4. Delete the corresponding row. If you receive the following error message, you need to

make sure that no replication task is using this destination (see step 1).

 No rows were deleted.

 A problem occurred attempting to delete row row.

 Error source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider.

5. Now you can successfully add the destination
