About backing up Veritas Cluster Servers

To protect all data in the cluster, including file shares and databases, back up the following:

Local disks and System State on each node
All shared disks
Virtual servers, which may contain data or contain applications such as Microsoft SQL Server or Exchange Server. Use Backup Exec database agents to back up databases.

See Creating a backup job by using the Backup Wizard.

Note:

For offhost backup jobs that use the hardware provider, the media server and the remote computer must be in different cluster groups. The cluster applications cannot support devices' logical unit numbers (LUNs) that have duplicate signatures and partition layouts, therefore, the snapshots containing the LUNs must be transported to a host, or remote computer, that is outside the cluster.

The Command Line Applet can be used with Backup Exec when Backup Exec is installed in a cluster. The only limitation is that you cannot use the Command Line Applet to specify a device for backup. You can use the Command Line Applet to target a device pool, but not a specific device in that pool.
