NetBackup has to be treated differently on clusters - it needs to run on the
virtual server that hosts the volume group and you can't do an
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES policy on a cluster.  With FlashBackups, you also need to
make sure that the snapshot volume is a member of the disk group or your
disk group could fail over to another node and leave the snapshot volume
behind.

This is no different on a Windows cluster than it is on a Veritas cluster.
Only VMS clusters get it right since they have a cluster-wide file system.
