I do not have the document to hand, but its possible that you MAY have to
take the live node OFFLINE during the restore. However, you can certainly
TRY it!
I think Paul provided a snapshot of what was in the book :-)

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Restoring Microsoft cluster Node
Thanks Simon
A little bit confused due to lack of Knowledge on the windows cluster
environment
Both nodes are running win2k by the way.
You mentioned that the live node would need to be taken off line, surely
this defeats the point of a cluster. Please excuse my ignorence if I am
overlooking something.
Thanks Again
David
