description Double-Take Move Overview

Double-Take Move is a server-migration product associated with Vision Solutions. It uses replication to copy data from a source server to a target environment while the source remains available, allowing an administrator to plan a cutover with less application downtime than a manual copy-and-rebuild process. It is intended for moving workloads between physical or virtual servers and supported cloud environments, with the exact options depending on the software release.

help Double-Take Move FAQ

What is Double-Take Move used for?

Double-Take Move is a server-migration product associated with Vision Solutions. It replicates data from a source server to a target environment while the source remains available.

How does Double-Take Move reduce migration downtime?

The source can continue serving applications while replication keeps the target current. Administrators can then plan a shorter cutover instead of copying everything during one long outage window.

Does Double-Take Move delete the original server immediately?

No. Its described workflow keeps the source available during replication, allowing the administrator to validate the target and plan the cutover before retiring or switching away from the source.

What is the difference between Double-Take Move and a basic file copy?

A basic file copy usually creates a one-time snapshot, while Double-Take Move uses replication so changes can continue moving while the source stays online. That makes it more suitable for live server migrations where downtime matters.
