It may seem like a NetWare question, but it's really not. If you're a
networker guru, read on.
Suppose I had two or three (NetWare cluster) clients that all shared the
same clustered volume, but the volume was only resident on one client at a
time -- and it moved around all the time. By default, if I'm backing up
each node in the cluster (which I'm forced to do because NetWorker doesn't
really support NetWare clusters), I'd force a full (or large incremental)
every time the volume moved.
I think all you need to do is define the backup for that volume with
save -c. Perhaps make an arbitary decision about which client is going
to own the volume, then use that in the backup command field of all
three clients. It's probably no more complicated than that.
