Does anyone have an opinion about the product Doubletake as a 3rd party
replication tool for a backup server failover/failback strategy? Or even just
for replication?

Not for replication but for DR we did look at it. Thought it fairly simple
and although the graphical tools are basic they were quite adequate.
Failback is quite simple which I liked. Unlike replication , the data is not
accessible at the DR site. In the end if you have a SAN, using SAN
replication is IMO simpler though and largely out of the box. Currently we
use the SAN to replicate all drives apart from tempdb. Prod and contingency
are each single node clusters having the same virtual name. Really simple
solution.
Cheers,
