Need advice

Hi,
I have a few offices accross the country running MSDE and my HQ SQL 2000. I
need to port the data nightly to the HQ. Should I consider Replication?
Whatever is done on the MSDE at the offices are not needed after copied to
the HQ. I was thinking of creating an app (running at all offices) to copy
the data nightly to the HQ but I am worried if the connection goes down
during the copy?
Please advice.
Thanks
I would do this with DTS instead of replication since you don't have a
requirement to maintain the data in MSDE after it is transferred and it
doesn't appear you are sending anything from HQ back to any of the offices.
