Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backuping Up Cluster 2003 Server

=20

Hi again

Does anyone have any experience on backing up a cluster with NBU 5.x ?

=20

I have a question that I would like to get confirmed as being the
correct answer, in the event of problems restoring the cluster!

=20

Basic setup

=20

Windows 2003 Server Cluster is known as CLUSTER01. The Nodes are known
as Cluster02 and Cluster03 as physical computer names. On top of this,
they also have "Virtual Names" known to the users as "Data" and
"Personal"

=20

At the moment, I have the Netbackup client installed on Cluster02 and
Cluster03 (As this is the physical computer names of the Servers).

=20

Now, what I have been doing is performing backups using the "Virtual
Names". This has been working fine, without too many issues.

=20

However, my question is this: Should I also be doing backups of the
Physical Computer Names or not?

=20

Not knowing clustering that well, I was not entirely sure if this is the
correct process, but it does work!

=20

Would be grateful for any information on this. I want to be 100% sure
that in the event of a disaster, I can safely recover the node or worse
case, the entire cluster.

=20

Thanks for any comments

=20

Simon
