IN01 (Primary Sending Member)
US01 (Receiving read only member)
This server IN01 have several errors for replication stopped/failed with event ID 6104, 2004, 2104.

Q1.
I have gone through several articles and web links which states to rebuild/recreate the database as a part of solution but I want to know how to do it and will it cause any data loss?
Q2. If I start the replication again, will it start from zero..? I mean will it replicate all the folders from sending member to receiving member from scratch?
With regards,
