How it works
 
Double-Take Software empowers you with the most advanced data replication and failover solutions for complete data protection. Double-Take replication technology reduces the window for data loss, is more efficient than tape, and less costly than tape or other replication solutions. Because Double-Take replicates data in near real-time, an up-to-the-second copy of data is always available on the back up server.

Double-Take also uses unique compression and bandwidth throttling features that allow an administrator to control the amount and timing of bandwidth used for backup. Double-Take can utilize existing infrastructure and is hardware agnostic; there’s no large investment or hidden costs standing between you and better backups.

Double-Take allows for the complete recovery of any Microsoft Windows application and the data associated with it within minutes. Many Double-Take Software customers replicate their data across continents and oceans to provide nearly instantaneous recovery regardless of the cause of the outage. It combines continuous real-time data replication and automatic failover capabilities for disaster recovery, high availability, and centralized backup of applications. The real-time protection of Double-Take provides a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) usually measured in seconds.

Today, Double-Take® is the most relied-upon solution for real-time replication of critical data and automated failover for application availability. Double-Take is Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 certified at all levels, one of the few replication products to have achieved this level of certification. It delivers protection that is better or comparable to many hardware-based solutions, but costs tens of thousands less.
 

How Double-Take Works

How Double-Take Software's Data Protection and Recovery Services Work
  • Volumes and files on the source are selected for replication and then targetserver(s) and path(s) are selected for data backup.
  • Double-Take compares source and target files and then synchronizes the differences at a block level.
  • On-going changes to selected files are captured at the byte level for replication as they occur for data backup services.
  • Changes are transmitted continuously or per user-defined conditions, such as bandwidth limits or start/stop conditions.
  • A data protection solution target receives and applies the changes to target volumes.
  • Data back up services target server monitors the source server and can initiate fail over automatically or manually.
  • Fail back releases the identity of the source allowing original source to rejoin the network.
  • The restore function returns current data back to original machine providing a data protection solution.
 
Double-Take replicates changes to files at the byte-level from any Windows Server to any other Windows Server across any IP-based network. It installs on each server and uses a file system filter driver to determine what changes are occurring to files and it replicates those file operations to another server and applies them to a secondary copy of the data. All changes are sent and applied in the exact order that they occurred on the production system, guaranteeing a crash-consistent copy of data on the secondary system.
