Yes, this is possible. You will need to make sure that replication is fully completed. To be on the safe side, do not delete the databases of the new server, rename them instead. I would like to know the outcome. Hope that helps.

Can I just copy the priv.edb and the pub.edb? I'm sure this is a simple procedure but I haven't done it before. Thanks.
