Blocking writing to the target paths

You can block writing to the paths on the target that contain the copy of the replication set data. This keeps the data from being changed outside of Double-Take Availability processing. To block the replication set data paths on the target, open the Replication Console, and right-click the connection on the right pane of the Replication Console. Select Block Target Path(s). To unblock the paths, right-click the connection and deselect Block Target Path(s).

Note:

If you are going to use failover, any target paths that are blocked will automatically be unblocked during the failover process so that users can modify data on the target after failover. During a restoration, the paths are automatically blocked again. If you failover and failback without performing a restoration, the target paths will remain unblocked. You can manually block or unblock the target paths by right-clicking on a connection.

Do not block your target paths if you are protecting a full-server because system state data will not be able to be written to the target.
