Button Description
Configure—Select a protection, then click the Configurebutton to open the protection summary for the selected protection. Click the Changebutton next to setting you want to modify. For more information about changing protection settings, see Setting protection options on page 4-9.
Delete—Select a protection, then click the Deletebutton to remove configuration information for the selected protection.
When you click the Delete button, you will be prompted to either keep or delete the associated replica virtual machine.
If you no longer want to protect the source and are no longer interested in the target replica, then select the Delete the associated replica virtual machine option. Selecting this option will remove the Double-Take connection and
completely delete the replica virtual machine.
If you no longer want to move data from the source to the target but still want to keep the target replica, then select the Keep and register the associated replica virtual machine option. (For instance, you would use this option to ship the VHDs elsewhere and then create a new job between the original source and the remote.) When you select this option, the target will be preserved and registered (provided that it has been fully synchronized). If the target is not fully
synchronized, related files will be kept on the target server but will not be registered.
Start protection—Select a protection, then click the Startbutton to enable protection for the connection. When you click Start, Double-Take Console begins a difference mirror and replication.
If you have previously stopped protection and then click the Start button for that protection job, Double-Take Console will check to see if the source server VHD files are the same as the target VHD files. If they are the same, Double-Take Console will resume protection starting with the Replication cycle, bypassing the
synchronization step. If they are not the same but there is a file on the target, Double-Take Console will perform a difference synchronization.
If you have previously paused protection, the protection job will resume where it left off.
Pause protection—Select a protection, then click the Pausebutton to pause the protection job.
Stop protection—Select a protection, then click the Stopbutton to disable protection for the job.
After the initial synchronization has completed, you can use the Stopbutton to stop protection for a job. This allows the end user to perform a manual failover.
Failover—Select a protection, then click the Failover button to shut down the source virtual machine and start the replica virtual machine.
NOTE: Failover cannot be undone.
View protection error—If the selected protection has encountered any error conditions, click this button to view the most recent error associated with the protection job.

Configure Protection—Select a protection, then click the Configure Protection button to open the protection summary for the selected protection. Click the Changebutton next to setting you want to modify. For more information about changing protection settings, see Setting protection options on page 5-7.
Delete—Select a protection, then click the Deletebutton to remove configuration information for the selected protection.
When you click the Delete button, you will be prompted to either keep or delete the associated replica virtual machine.
If you no longer want to protect the source and are no longer interested in the target replica, then select the Delete the replica virtual machine files on the target server option. Selecting this option will remove the Double-Take
connection and completely delete the replica virtual machine.
If you no longer want to move data from the source to the target but still want to keep the target replica, then select the Keep the replica virtual machine files on the target server option. (For instance, you would use this option to ship the VHDs elsewhere and then create a new job between the original source and the remote.) When you select this option, the target files will be preserved (provided that it has been fully synchronized). If the target is not fully synchronized, related files will be kept on the target server but will not be registered.

If you have previously paused protection, the protection job will resume where it left off.
Pause protection—Select a protection, then click the Pausebutton to pause the protection job.
Note—All protections that use the same source-to-target route will be paused.
Stop protection—Select a protection, then click the Stopbutton to disable protection for the job.
After the initial synchronization has completed, you can use the Stopbutton to stop protection for a job. This allows the end user to perform a manual failover.
Failover—Select a protection, then click the Failover button to shut down the source virtual machine and start the replica virtual machine.
Undo Failover—Select a protection that has already failed over, then click the Undo Failover button to undo the failover of the selected protection.
The state will change to Undoing. When the Undo Failover is complete, the job will re-start as normal
