Can you not backup the cluster just using the normal PC Client software and
treat each node as just a Separate Server for now??

Just a warning to everybody out there, I have had nothing but problems with
a MS cluster of two x64 Win2k3 systems.

I have a 2-node cluster running Win2k3 x64, and MsSql 2k.  Master server is
Solaris.  All on 5.1mp4.

Primary node, never worked, and bug reports go to support.  Veritas confirms
bug in bpcd, and to be fixed in mp5 (april). 

Second node is backing up fine, so we switched the cluster to second node,
figuring it was just a problem with primary node.

 Bzzzzz! Wrong answer!

Now, the secondary node won't backup anything, including the local drives
that it was backing up the day before.

Don't you just love being on the bleeding edge!
