Re: [Veritas-bu] Windows flash-backup experiences (again)

I backup ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES on a few of our clusters, it gets everything.
For instance, I'll put both physical nodes that host the cluster in a
policy that uses the ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES option. I'm new to the backup
world, is this not the best practice? It gets the quorum and everything
(I'm able to restore the data).

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.
