Hi Conrad, thanks for you reply.

You understood correctly in the sense that "failing over" is not a problem, 
both on server side and on client side.

I use Veritas Cluster because I must protect application, not necessarily 
backup services, from a single point of failure.

I know there is no compatibility between Networker 7.2.2 and Veritas Cluster 
5.0 (I've seen it on EMC sw compatibility guide) so, in other words, I would 
avoid any not-supported configuration.

So my real question is this:

I must use Veritas Cluster 5.0 to configure an highly-available application
I can only use Networker 7.2.2 on HP-UX/Itanium to backup an highly-available 
application data, I cannot upgrade networker for cost reasons.
Because "failing over" backup service is not an issue, can I configure a 
networker client as a standalone client in order to backup an highly-available 
application? Of course I'm conscious that backup is not guaranteed in case of 
application failover but this is not an issue.

Is it a certified configuration so I can obtain EMC support if any problems 
will occur? 

Thank you, Fabio
