You can break the source/target connection without disconnecting the connection, so that you can control the transmission of data across the network. You can do this by pausing the target. If the target is paused, data is queued on the source until you manually resume the target. For example, you may want to pause the target while you perform a backup of the target data, and then resume the target when the backup is complete.
While the target is paused, the Double-Take Availability source cannot queue data indefinitely. If the source queue is filled, Double-Take Availability will automatically disconnect the connections and attempt to reconnect them.
To pause a target, right-click a target server on the left pane of the Replication Console and select Pause Target. All active connections to that target will complete the operations already in progress. You will see Pause Pending in the Replication Console while these operations are completed. The status will update to Paused after the operations are completed. Any new operations will be queued on the source until the target is resumed. When you are ready to resume the target, right-click the target and select Resume Target.
If you have multiple connections to the same target, all connections will be paused and resumed.
