Installation
Review the Double-Take RecoverNow requirements and Installation and upgrade notes before beginning your installation. You have the following installation options available.
- Installing or upgrading Double-Take RecoverNow—Use these instructions to install or upgrade Double-Take RecoverNow using the installation wizard.
- Installing Double-Take RecoverNow automatically—Use these instructions to install or upgrade Double-Take RecoverNow using command-line parameters which allow you to automate the process by running an unattended installation.
- Installing TimeData continuous data protection—If you are installing on a repository server and will be using TimeData continuous data protection, you will need to install TimeData after you install Double-Take RecoverNow. If you entered a repository server activation code during the Double-Take RecoverNow installation, the TimeData installation can be launched directly from the Double-Take RecoverNow installation. Otherwise, you will need to start the TimeData installation manually.
- Upgrading to SQL 2008 Standard—The TimeData installation includes SQL Server. If you installed from a web download, the SQL Server version is 2008 Express edition. The SQL database is limited to 4 GB in the Express edition. If you installed from the Double-Take RecoverNow CD, the SQL Server version is 2008 Standard edition. The SQL database is limited to 524272 TB in the Standard edition. If you have the Double-Take RecoverNow CD, you can upgrade a 2008 Express edition to the 2008 Standard edition.
- Installing and configuring Ontrack PowerControls—If you purchased a Double-Take RecoverNow Repository with Ontrack PowerControls license, you can install Ontrack PowerControls on your repository server. If you entered an appropriate Ontrack PowerControls activation code during the Double-Take RecoverNow installation, the Ontrack PowerControls installation can be launched directly from the Double-Take RecoverNow installation. Otherwise, you will need to start the Ontrack PowerControls installation manually.
- Installing Atom file-level deduplication service—If you are installing the repository server and plan to use the Atom file-level deduplication feature, you should use the installation wizard and select the option to install the Atom deduplication service. The Atom installation is part of the Double-Take RecoverNow repository installation. If Atom is not initially installed, it can be added later by using the modify option in the installation wizard (except for Windows 2003 servers which would require a clean installation).
