    You can browse vCenter and select both the clustered nodes individually

    simple!!

    If You need to backup only clusterd servers , back them up using virtual name  (requires NBU client on guest vm)

    make sure name resolution works properly (harden host file if required)

It clearly states that a VM with a RDM must have the NBU client installed in it to be able to capture the RdM contents. I'm assuming you are using RDM devices to support your cluster (assuming MSCS).
