sp_restoredbreplication (Transact-SQL)

Removes replication settings if restoring a database to the non-originating server, database, or system that is otherwise not capable of running replication processes. When restoring a replicated database to a server or database other than the one where the backup was taken, replication settings cannot be preserved. On the restore, the server calls sp_restoredbreplication directly to automatically remove replication metadata from the restored database.
