Is Double-take really good like that? I mean - when ot comes to incrementally 
replicating large files?
 
I used to be a big fan of Octopus but recently had bad experience replicating a few 
Imail servers. Granted, each Imail server had ~10,000 mailboxes, that's probably 
~50,000 files that constantly change because they are sending/receiving messages all 
the time. And some of those files were quite large too... Octopus simply choked trying 
to keep track of all changes - by the time it was done synchronizing a version of a 
certain file, that file probably changed five more times, the changes just snowballed.
 
It seems to me that Double-take is similar to Octopus. Although I replicated one Imail 
server with a demo copy of Double-take and had somewhat better results. But maybe that 
Imail server was not as active as the others.

Actually Double Take works for replication, however it is not High
Availability Solution as the developer NSI or Sunbelt promote it on their
site. But if you just want the data replicated then if you tweek it (and not
according to their support way's soultion) , it does the job.
Their other solution Geo Cluster is so damn expensive that we decided it is
not worth it.
