Configuring snapshot settings

If you have not done so already, launch the Protecting a SQL Server workflow.

The following allow you to set up snapshots of your target data that can be used when failing over. By default, snapshots are not enabled in the Application Manager.

Note:

In order to use snapshots, the monitored servers must be running Double-Take Availability version 5.2 or later.

If the target server is on a cluster, the Snapshot feature is not available.

To enable snapshots, select the Enable periodic snapshots checkbox. This will enable the remaining controls.
In the Snapshot interval field, select the interval at which you want to perform snapshots (in minutes). The minimum interval is 15 minutes.
Select one of the following options for when to begin collecting snapshots:

Start now—Select this option to take the first snapshot as soon as protection is enabled.
Start at—Select this option to start taking snapshots at a future time. If you select this option, you will also need to enter a date and time.

When you are finished, click OK.
