Siobhan,

I am using 7.1.1. and I have seen where saveset ALL grabs all of the physical 
and virtual drives with physical and virtual client definitions. I have had to 
explicitly define the drives to get around this issue. Any suggestions? Has 
anyone seen this before?

Stan,

you just define the physical nodes and the cluster alias as 3 seperate 
clients.

The physical nodes will back up the drives only for them, and the cluster 
client will backup the clustered data.

Will the physical nodes be storage nodes?

If not, that's it.

BTW, have seen problems with NetWorker not counting SQL licenses properly, 
so be careful!
