Yes I use it.. opps let me re-phrase that, have a fully paid copy of the software that I've written off as it performed good in initial testing with just two machines, but have had nothing but issues with it going live anytime it goes over four machines. This software is basically three different products thrown together with a fourth product that attempts to manage it all, and fails miserably. For instance you create a job in the recovery console, and you should be able to go back there and check on status, or if you need to restore, run the restore from there, but you go back, and strangely the job has disappeared.. Hum, going over to the replication now software piece (separate program) and checking, it does appear to be running still. But you can't do restores from that software so it's off to call tech support again. Every time I want to do a restore. And it's frustrating when you have 25 jobs setup but only 2 or 3 show up, or if there is more, they show a status of failed, but checking the other software it is running. IT's frustrating, and we're not renewing the software license and fighting for a full refund, but its been awhile now as we've been trying to get it to work, and as always the next release will fix "everything". I'd stay far away from it until they work out the bugs (and yes I have emails from their support saying its known issues , and doesn't work right). -Greg

I used Double-Take until the releases of SQL Mirroring, Exchange CCR (and then DAG), and DPM. Since then, I've used the MSFT solutions (and refer customers to those solutions because I like having one place to point fingers). Now, when I used Double-Take, I was very pleased with it. But that experience is several years old. Regards, Michael B.

Wow, nobody. I thought for sure with as many folks we have posting here there must be a few running that software.
