Introduction
This document describes how to use the Double-Take Application Manager interface to create and validate your application configuration. The Application Manager lets you quickly configure protection for an application without requiring you to have advanced knowledge of either Double-Take or your application. The Application Manager works by gathering information about your source and target environments, then configuring Double-Take to protect the source.
