The client is windows, but it is not MSCS - it is C0-Standby server. Do I need 
a Cluster license to backup CO-Standby server?
   
  Although info re. MSCS would be useful also. I know that if you now specify 
the ALL saveset on a physical cluster client Networker will skip any shared 
drives. If I remember correctly when you try to backup the shared drive using 
the physical node name as the networker client the backup of data will not take 
place. Networker is intelligent enough to know that the drive is shared and 
skips backup of data on that drive.
  
Thanks

Is the client windows as well?

In general, I think the answer is yes for unix clients and no for
windows clients.

On machines I've dealt with, the unix client requres that you run a
cluster installation script. The 'save' binary looks for it and uses
that information to understand the cluster split. It also uses it to
notify the server that it's doing a cluster backup and needs a license.
No setup, it's just a normal machine.

The windows client seemed to auto-detect MSCS directly. We'd have a
group install the cluster software on a machine without telling us, and
it grabbed a cluster license.
