DR
–
What
is
it?
• Double-­‐Take
DR
is
for
the
protec%on
of
en%re
servers
(Windows
only)
or
data
that
can
afford
a
longer
RTO
at
a
frac%on
of
the
cost
of
Double-­‐Take
Availability
• Can
be
used
for
DR
of
Tier
2
and
Tier
3
servers
that
do
not
require
the
low
RTO
of
Availability
• Can
be
used
to
supplement
exis%ng
local
HA/DR
strategies
• S%ll
offers
sub-­‐second
RPO
to
minimize
data
loss
• Can
be
used
for
centralized
backup
scenarios

29. Double-­‐Take

for
Windows
–
High
Level
View
1. Source machine can be 2003, 2008, or 2012 on any platform either locally or remote
2. Target machine is 2008 R2 or later and .VHD files are used for each volume protected
3. Recovery machine can be any platform or even the source but must match source OS and
architecture if recovering the entire server as data only can be recovered to any machine
anywhere
