On behalf of Double-Take Software, Inc. (“Company”), this letter is in response to the staff’s letter of comment dated February 25, 2008 to Dean Goodermote, with respect to the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”).
In response to your letter, set forth below are the staff’s comments in italics followed by the Company’s responses to the staff’s comments.
We are sending to your attention for delivery on February 27, 2008 courtesy copies of this letter and Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, including a copy of Amendment No. 1 blacklined to show changes against the Registration Statement. All page numbers used in the Company's responses below refer to the page numbers in Amendment No. 1.

  1.   Please clarify that Mr. Goswami and Ms. Witt exercise voting and/or dispositive control over the shares held by the selling stockholders. Please see Item 507 of Regulation S-K and 4S of the March 1999 Supplement to the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations. We note that they disclaim beneficial interest in the shares held by the selling stockholders other than their “pecuniary interests.” Beneficial ownership should be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. Pecuniary interest is not a consideration in determining beneficial ownership.
The Company has revised the disclosure in footnote (1) to the table on page 15 in response to the staff’s comment.
