Thank you very much for this solution - it works perfectly.

Hi Ken,
Think the setting you're looking for is
"save -c server3"
in the "Backup Command" field for server3. This should create a
save stream to be recorded in the Client File Index for server3,
rather than either of the cluster nodes.
HTH.

Hello,
We have 2 linux file servers that use heatbeat for failover.
When one server becomes primary, it mounts mirrored data as local
data (using DRBD) and gets assigned the virtual IP. The other
server is obviously a secondary at that point and therefore
no longer has the mirrored data mounted.
We have set up networker server client entry for server1 and
server2 and can back up their non mirrored data just fine (/ , /
usr, etc). The issue is with the mirrored data.
We set up a client entry for 'server3 (the virtual ip that
maps to a valid dns entry)'. When it runs the backup for that
virutal ip, the client that has that ip responds but networker
doesn't see a valid backup for
'server3:save-set-name' and does a full backup. It then writes
the backup as completed, BUT UNDER THE INDEX FOR WHATEVER CLIENT
WAS PRIMARY. That is what I think is causing networker to not
see an existing backup for 'server3:save-set-name'.
We use Networker 7.2 on a linux server.
Can somebody help with this? It's going to get real
problematic once we move over 2 TB of data there! Thanks...
