Data transmission

Double-Take Availability data is continuously transmitted to the target machine. Although the data may be queued if the network or target machine is slow, the default transmission setting is to transmit the data as soon as possible. You can modify the transmission to suit your environment.

Stopping, starting, pausing, and resuming transmission—You can maintain the source/target connection, but still control the transmission of data across the network by using the manual transmission controls. If transmission is paused, the data is queued on the source until you manually restart the transmission.
Scheduling data transmission—You can set event driven or scheduling criteria to determine when data is transmitted. Data is queued on the source until the event or schedule is met. Also, transmission can be stopped by using these criteria. Scheduled transmission options can be toggled on and off, allowing you to enable them only when you need to use them.
Limiting transmission bandwidth—You can specify bandwidth limitations to restrict the amount of network bandwidth used for Double-Take Availability data transmissions. Data is queued on the source until bandwidth is available. Bandwidth limitations can be full-time or scheduled.
Compressing data for transmission—You can compress data to reduce the amount of bandwidth needed to transmit Double-Take Availability data.
