I think by "sliver" he means a small NTFS volume that you can attach the other NTFS volumes (cluster resources) too.

Hello Tom
 
I trilled to hear that, because the enigineer I had for our case with Flashbackup-windows on MSCS on windows x64 to work.
Actually I think he showed me where it said in the manual that Flashbackup-windows wasn't supported on Netbackup 6.5.1
 
Is a silver the same as a disk letter ? or is it a mountpoint ?
 
Would like to hear our experience with it, especially performance wise
 
Regards
Michael

We've been using Flashbackup for Windows on MSCS for years with Netbackup support (trust me- I spent hours on the phone with them at first).  It's got some quirks, but it does work.

Biggest thing you have to keep in mind- your snapshot space needs to be in the cluster group with your data.  We set all of our data disks up as mount points under a root "sliver", then set a single smaller mount point under the same sliver for use as a snapshot target.  Each Cluster Group has one mount point, and one backup volume shared by the data volumes in that group.  Works fine.  We have it running on 4 different windows clusters, Win2k3, NBU 6.5.2a (but it worked for us under 5.1 and 6.0 as well)
