About Double-Take Backup

• Disasters, which are unpredictable by nature, emerge in many shapes and sizes, making it important to have a reliable backup plan in place for remote office and branch office environments. Traditionally, many businesses have used unsophisticated periodic backup solutions to protect critical systems which are expensive, complex and unreliable. These challenges are only exacerbated at branch offices and remote offices, where there is often a lack of skilled IT personnel to manage the process, as well as distance and bandwidth challenges to overcome.
• Double-Take Backup introduces a new approach to Remote Office and Branch Office (ROBO) backup by continuously sending changes to a central location, saving time and money while offering better protection from lost data and advanced recovery capabilities.

Double-Take Backup’s Features

• Double-Take Backup offers continuous full server protection (OS, applications and data), eliminates backup windows and allows protected data to be sent efficiently over WAN connections to a central location.
• Double-Take Backup combines continuous replication with the ability to recover to any point-in-time (CDP).
• Double-Take Backup makes it easy to recover from disasters of any size by allowing IT administrators to recover anything from individual e-mails to entire workloads (OS, applications and data) either to the original server, new physical hardware or to a VM running on VMware ESX or Microsoft Hyper-V.
