Install Double-Take Backup on the source

  1. Copy the installation package for Double-Take Backup from the following Double-Take Cloud repository paths to your source: 
  2. Launch the Double-Take installer.
  3. On the splash screen, click Install Double-Take Backup.
Note:

Do not change the default installation location. Double-Take Backup must be installed under C:\Program Files\ in order to recover the server to the cloud; otherwise, the server cannot be recovered to the cloud. However, data recovery would still be possible to any machine, and even system recovery would be possible to a non-cloud machine with the same operating system and Double-Take path as the source.

Detailed installation instructions are available in the Double-Take Backup User’s Guide. You can launch the User's Guide from the Double-Take Backup installer.

  1. If prompted, reboot the server.
  2. Install Double-Take Backup on any additional source server(s).

Next step: After Double-Take Backup is installed, configure protection.
