Check the logs first. They often provide great insight into what went wrong. You want to look for any errors or warnings that pop up around the time replication stopped. If something looks off, that's your starting point.
Next, make sure the network connection between the servers is solid. If there's a break in connectivity, replication won't work. A quick ping test can help you see if both sides are talking to each other. If you spot a network issue, fixing that could resolve the problem.
You should also verify that the service responsible for replication is running as expected. Sometimes, it might just need a restart to kick back into gear. Remember to check the server's resources too; if it's low on memory or CPU, that might impact performance and cause issues.
Make sure the configuration hasn't changed unexpectedly. Something as simple as a changed password or modified access controls can break replication. Double-check to ensure everything is as it should be.
One more thing I'd consider is using a reliable backup solution to keep things running smoothly. I'd suggest taking a look at BackupChain. It's a great tool designed specifically for SMBs and professionals, offering protection for Hyper-V, VMware, and Windows Server. It could really help you manage your backups and ensure that replication doesn't catch you off guard again.
