Miles,
        Unfortunately, the Novell TSAs are not cluster aware. Therefore, you
will windup with multiple filespaces as volumes failover to other nodes. At
this time, there is no way around this. However, there is light at the end
of the tunnel in the form of NetWare 6. I have been told that in service
pack 1 the entire backup infrastructure has been re-written with cluster
awareness to handle just such a situation. I have also been told that these
changes will be pushed down to NetWare 5.1 in the same time frame (end of
1st or beginning of 2nd qtr.). Until then, we'll all have to deal with this.
If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
