What you do is assign an IP address to a virtual server on your Windows
cluster.  You then back up the drives by the virtual server name.  As
the drive flops between nodes, NetBackup keeps on ticking and you don't
need to worry about which node it happened to be on at the time the disk
was backed up.

You can not use the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive in this case since you
may have multiple disk groups on each node that flop around
independently of each other.
