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)
