I am currently running in a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit environment utilizing Hyper V for virtualization. I am running TSM Server 6.2 and clients are also at 6.2.
In our stand alone environments, we have used the hyper v option to backup our virtual servers and this has worked fairly well.
However, we are in the process of clustering our virtual server hosts. What we have ended up with is a 3 server cluster and virtual servers running on any one of the hosts just depending on the situation.
So my question is, what would be the best method to backup our virtual servers?
Our first thought had been to install our backup client on each host server in the cluster and use the same method as before. However, we could end up with duplicate backups stored when a guest server moves from one host to another. This probably wouldn't be the best option.
Thanks for any help.
