Verify the VPN connection

Take a few minutes now to verify your VPN connection. If your VPN connection isn't working, the rest of the solution can't proceed.

  1. After you configure your VPN, allow a few minutes for the VPN connection to be established.
  2. From a command prompt on the source server, run the IPCONFIG command. This will list a new network with the IP address within the range specified by the server in server command. By default, this will be an address in the range of 10.8.0.0/24.
  3. From the source server, ping the Double-Take Cloud repository IP address (10.8.0.1).
  4. From target, ping the source by hostname.

If any of the ping commands failed to return responses, you'll need to troubleshoot your VPN connection.

After you are sure that your VPN connections are working and that all ping requests have been returned, install Double-Take Backup on your source.
